New Performance 6.5 Digit PXI DMM

11 July 2012 - Geotest introduced a new 6.5 digit PXI digital multimeter. The GX2065 offers a unique combination of features, resolution, accuracy and speed in a compact, single slot 3U PXI format. Featuring 6-½ digit resolution, 0.005% basic DCV reading accuracy and up to 3,500 reading per second (rps) provides measurements that are accurate, fast and repeatable.

All measurement functions including digitizing functions are isolated from the PXI bus – providing the ability to make true differential, floating measurements. An on-board controller performs all necessary DMM and digitizer calculations, minimizing PXI control bus overhead.

Key features of the GX2065 include:

• 300 V DC or AC rms isolation barrier (CAT II)
• DCV, ACV, 2 & 4 – wire resistance measurements, and current measurements
• Market leading 3 MHz, 16 bit, isolated input digitizer which allows users to acquire and analyze waveforms.
• Up to 8192 samples can be stored in the digitizer’s memory
• Built in analysis and waveform functions include RMS, average, peak to peak, and peak to average
• Frequency and period measurements to 500 KHz

Instrument Software

The GX2065 is supplied with a virtual instrument panel, which includes 32/64-bit Windows and Linux drivers as well as SMX2040 & SMX2060 compatible drivers, allowing customers to easily upgrade existing applications to the GX2065. The virtual panel can be used to interactively adjust and control the instrument from a window that displays the instrument’s current settings and measurements. Interface files are provided to support a variety of programming tools and languages including ATEasy, Microsoft and Borland C/C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland Delphi, and LabVIEW.
