PXI and cPCI, 7-1/2 digit, Digital Multimeters, SMX2064/ SMX2060, bring fastest
speed, advanced functionality, and highest accuracy.
Seattle, WA - March 1st,
Signametrics introduced its newest 7-1/2 digit PXI/cPCI Digital Multimeters,
offering advance functionality and fastest measurement speeds.
Signametrics' engineering leveraged newly available technologies
to implement new advanced triggering capabilities, superior
measurement speeds, and exceptional accuracies, surpassing any
existing product in this class.
The SMX2064 boasts high measurement rates up to 20,000 reading/second and low DC current measurement ranges down to 50pA. With true 7-1/2 digit accuracies,
new advanced scope-like triggering, and extended DC and resistance
measurement ranges. The two new PXI DMMs are aimed at satisfying
the needs of advanced test systems in diverse applications such
as: Avionics, Automotive, Semiconductors, Storage, Industrial,
components and sensor manufacturing, chemical manufacturing,
food engineering, and others.
The SMX2064
Like its PCI predecessor, the SMX2064 is a full-featured 7-1/2 digit PXI/cPCI
DMM. It boasts 24,000,000 counts dynamic range, translating
to resolutions of 10nV, and a wide workload due to its extensive
measurement functionality. The SMX2064 offers the most advanced
functionality in plug-in DMMs: 6-wire Guarded resistance, inductance
and capacitance measurements (LCR), Frequency and timing measurements,
thermocouple and RTD measurements, and V & I sourcing. In addition,
the SMX2064 sports new scope-like advanced triggering, extended DC current and resistance measurement ranges, and accurate Leakage measurement with programmable DC source.
"The large number of current sources designed into the SMX2064 provide the
widest range and highest resolution of any plug-in DMM, making
it the only plug-in Ohm-meter measuring from micro-ohms to Giga-ohms."
says Tee Sheffer, president of Signametrics Corporation. "Our
SMX2064 and SMX2060 bring about a new standard in accuracy,
speed, and functionality to plug-in Test and Measurement systems,
that is unparalleled even by costly bench-top and VXI digital
multimeters".
The SMX2060
The SMX2060, 7-1/2 digit DMM, provides the same high accuracy as the SMX2064
at a very lower price. The SMX2060 shares the SM2064's 24,000,000
count based measurement, and features 1,400 reading per second
measurement speed. The SXM2060 functionality includes 4-wire
Ohms, frequency, and temperature measurements.
Touch and Feel; software support
The SMX2064 and the SMX2060 have the same "touch and feel" of bench-top
digital multimeters. They are compatible with the existing Signametrics
line of PXI and PCI DMM families, facilitating painless upgrade.
All Signametrics DMMs are accompanied by "front panel"
software, DLLs for all Windows applications, and Linux drivers.
A Family of Test and Measurement Plug-in Cards
Preserving the accuracy of the SMX2064 and SMX2060 DMMs in a multiple signal
system requires high-quality switching modules. Signametrics'
switching modules for the PXI/cPCI, are natural complements
to the new SMX2064 and SMX2060 with their high isolation, and
extremely low noise and thermal EMF. The combination of the
high-accuracy SMX2064/60 with fully isolated extremely low noise
SMX4032 Switching modules make up the foundation for high precision
Test and Measurement systems.
Price and Availability
Readily available, the SMX2064 is priced at $2,395, and the SMX2060 is priced
at $1,595.
