Hardware Components
The SM2042 digital multimeter is a PCI card that slides directly
into any PCI slot in your computer. Signal leads go straight from
the SM2042 to the test application or to a switching
card. This eliminates the need for IEEE488 or other controller
languages.
By cutting down on the number of components and connections in your test system, the
plug-in DMM provides a reliable, cost effective and concise automated measurement
capabilities, without compromising performance.
Software Interface:
The software included with the SM2042 contains a simple, quick
and clean installation package. Unlike some other products, it will
not change any of the S/W tools, or your computer environment, nor
will it store hundreds of megabytes of files on your hard drive.
Once this Plug-and-Play package is installed, a graphical control
panel (seen below) is available to try out your SM2042. All of the
familiar DMM controls are available through this virtual front panel.
You have the option to control the SM2042 without doing any programming
or configuration straight out of the box.
Automated applications can be configured using Visual Basic, C,
C++, LabView, LabWindows/CVI, TestPoint, ATEasy, Matlab, Delphi
and more. Programming the DMM is made simple by an API that provides
high level commands. An on-board controller insures that the SM2042
will operate properly on operating systems with a slower real-time
response. The SM2042 comes with drivers for Windows and Linux systems.
Common Applications
of Signametrics DMMs:
The SM2042 is suitable for a wide variety of uses. This includes
automated production testing, laboratory automation, and Portable/field
testing. Major users of Signametrics DMMs are in automotive and
aerospace industries, education, and research & development.
Safe and Reliable:
For safety and accuracy the SM2042 has a 330V isolation barrier
from the PC, making it a true differential and floating instrument.
The rugged input protection enhances reliability. Accuracy is maintained
with state of the art precision components.
