Feature overview
The Model 2010 is a 7 ½ -digit high-performance digital multimeter. It has 0.0018% 90-day
basic DC voltage accuracy and 0.0032% 90-day basic resistance accuracy. At 6
½ digits, the
multimeter delivers 50 triggered readings/sec over the IEEE-488 bus. At 4
½ digits, it can read
up to 2000 readings/sec into its internal buffer. The Model 2010 has broad measurement ranges:
• DC voltage from 10nV to 1000V.
• AC (RMS) voltage from 0.1
µ V to 750V, 1000V peak.
• DC current from 10nA to 3A.
• AC (RMS) current from 1
µ A to 3A.
• Two and four-wire resistance from 1µ
Ω to 120M Ω .
• Frequency from 3Hz to 500kHz.
• Thermocouple temperature from -200°C to +1372°C.
• RTD temperature from -200°C to +630°C.
Some additional capabilities of the Model 2010 are:
• Full range of functions — In addition to those listed above, the Model 2010 functions
include period, dB, dBm, continuity, diode testing, mX+b, and percent.
• Optional scanning — For internal scanning, options include the Model 2000-SCAN, a
10-channel, general-purpose card, and the Model 2001-TCSCAN, a 9-channel,
thermocouple card with a built-in cold junction. For external scanning, the Model 2010
is compatible with Keithley's Model 7001 and 7002 switch matrices and cards.
• Programming languages and remote interfaces — The Model 2010 offers two
programming language choices (SCPI and Keithley Models 196/199), and two remote
interface ports (IEEE-488/GPIB and RS-232C).
• Reading and setup storage — Up to 1024 readings and two setups (user and factory
defaults) can be stored and recalled.
• Closed-cover calibration — The instrument can be calibrated either from the front panel
or remote interface.
