6½ Digit High Performance Digital Multimeter

The new Picotest M3510A digital multimeter offers compact size, light weight, fast measurement speed & throughput, expanded measurement functions, systematization capability and highly usable interfaces including a standard USB interface and an optional GPIB/RS-232 interface. The M3510A is suitable for both production and research/development use.

50000 Readings/Sec Sampling Rate

The Picotest M3510A adopts the latest A/D technology and achieves 50,000 readings per second at 4 1/2 digits. When sending data to your computer, the M3510A can achieve high precision and stability compared to other DMMs with slow data transmission rates. With the Picotest M3510A you work more efficiently at a lower cost of ownership.

Dual Measurements & Displays

The dual measurement display feature of the M3510A alows you to display two measurement results at the same time and it is easily set up and configured. For example, when measuring DCV, you may also conduct Thermocouple measurement on simultaneously. This allows you to observe temperature changes while making other measurements. The M3510A can function as a multimeter and a thermometer at the same time.

Temperature Measurements

The M3510A DMMs support direct RTD temperature measurements and supports standards such as ITS-90, IEC751 and Callendar-Van Dusen. The RTD function is recommended for more precise measurements. The M3510A also provides Thermocouple (TC) function and has a built-in cold junction compensators for improved TC accuracy. Without additional plug-in's and reference temperature settings, you can measure temperature directly via Thermocouples of K, J, R, S, T, E, N, C and B types.

Multi-Measurement & Math Functions

The M3510A DMM offers capacitance measurements and dual measurement display, in addition to standard measurements, such as DCV, DCI, ACV, ACI, 2WΩ, 4WΩ, Frequency, Period, Thermocouple & RTD, and math functions, such as Limits, Ratio, MX+B, %, dBm, dB, Min/Max & Null. Measurement ranges have also been expanded. For instance, DC and AC Current Ranges now go up to 10 A.
 
True RMS

The M3510A adopts an analog conversion technique to provide true RMS value for ACV/ACI measurements regardless of the waveform shape. Only the “heating value” of the AC components of the input waveform is measured. For non-symmetrical waveforms, such as pulse trains, the DC components will be rejected by the RMS measurement.
 
Easy-to-Use MENU

Configuring the M3510A is straightforward. Unlike other DMMs with complicated operation modes in the configuration menus, the M3510A offers easy-to-use SHIFT, CONFIG, ENTER buttons, arrow keys and corresponding softkeys at the lower part of the display across all the measurement configurations. Using equipment from Picotest just gets easier than ever.

Built-in USB Interface & USBTMC Conformance

A high-speed USB interface is built into the M3510A and an optional GPIB/RS-232 interface is also available. The included USB interface conforms to the USBTMC protocol and can be operated through USBTMC compliant software.
 
Free Application Software

The M3510A is shipped with the PT-TOOL & PT-LINK software with which you can quickly establish an error-free connection between your PC and the meter. The M3510A conforms to Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI). PT-TOOL is a similar to the virtual oscilloscope software, which can monitor the DUT with scope display style. PT-LINK is used to collect measurement data in Microsoft Excel or Word and analyze it with charts. In addition, engineers are able to compile our Labview Driver for specific applications.
 
A Sample Application (Current vs. Temperature)

This is one of the PT-Tool Applications for observing temperature variation while the current passes through a specific resistance. In the following graph, new data are inserted from the left. We can easily observe from the graph that the resistance temperature increases or decreases with the current.
