Keithley's unique approach to instrument design provides simple, low-cost upgrade path to future Wave 2 MIMO with 4x4 signal streams and other new wireless standards
As the newest member of the Keithley family of high-performance, precision DMMs, the Model 2100 complements the Keithley line of premium GPIB-based DMMs and combines advanced measurement performance with the Keithley reputation for worldwide service and support.
The Model 2100 features precision 10VDC accuracy of 38ppm, at a fast measurement rate of 50 readings/second over the USB bus, a reading rate that is more than twice as fast as competitive offerings.
At 4.5digits, the Model 2100 reads more than 2000 readings/second into its internal, 2000-reading data buffer.

Eleven measurement functions cover the most commonly measured parameters, including Volts, Ohms, Amps, and RTD temperature measurement capability, as well as MX+B, dB, and dBm math modifiers.
Fully specified accuracies are valid for one year on all functions for ISO-compliant applications and facilities.
The Model 2100 also offers selectable front and rear inputs plus two and four-wire remote sense resistance inputs that facilitate use as both a stand-alone, benchtop DMM or in small systems applications.
The Model 2100 is easy to set up and begin using right out of the box, needing no additional accessories.
All units include standard USB cable, power cord, safety measurement probes, and free utility software to ensure quick startup and a lower total cost of ownership.
The USB interface supports the TMC (Test and Measurement Class) protocol, allowing SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation) commands to be sent over the USB bus for added data transfer and control options.
This TMC-compliant USB interface ensures preservation of existing SCPI test code, saving development time and cost.
In addition, the Model 2100 includes KI-Tool, a built-in graphic utility that enables trend plotting and data transfer to a PC.
It also includes an add-in tool that is used for importing data directly into Microsoft Excel and Word documents.
USB drivers are also provided with each Model 2100 DMM.
The Model 2100 DMM is suited for test engineers performing manual and semi-automatic electrical function tests and development and R+D engineers performing electrical validation in emerging electrical design and manufacturing regions.
It is also suited for service and calibration technicians working in instrument repair and metrology, research scientists, and engineering students in science and engineering laboratories.
The rugged and durable construction of the Model 2100, including a heavy gauge chassis and cover and rubberized front and rear bumpers, makes it suitable for bench applications as well as portable and field applications.
After 30 September, the unit list price will be EUR 675. Request a free brochure from Keithley Instruments ...
