Safety and Installation
About this Manual
This manual contains the safety and installation information that a new user will need to
set up the Tektronix DMM4040 or DMM4050 Digital Multimeter (hereafter referred to
as the Meter) prior to operation. You will also find compliance information,
environmental considerations, general and electrical
specifications,
a list of available user
documentation, and a list of standard and optional accessories for the Meter.
Introduction
Both Meters are 6-1/2 digit, dual-display multimeters designed for bench-top, field
service,
and system applications. Their full complement of measurement functions plus
their RS-232, IEEE 488, and Ethernet Remote Interfaces make these multi meters ideal
candidates for precision manual measurements and use in automated systems. For
portability, these multimeters include a carrying handle that also serves as a bail for
bench top operation.
There are a few feature differences between these two multimeters, and some
specifications are tighter for thc DMM4050. Features that exist in only one multi meter
will be identified with the addition of
"4050
Only" by each feature that is found only in
that model. Separate specification tables are also used to clarify the differences between
these nvo models.
The following is a list of some of the features and functions:
• Bright, large-digit, wide-viewing-angle display
• Dual display for displaying two properties of an input signal (e.g., ac voltage in one
display and frequency in the other).
• Remote operation via IEEE 488, RS-232, and Ethernet
interface.
• Trigger in and measurement-complete out
• Front panel USB port for optional memory
• 6-1/2 digit resolution
• Half-rack
width
• True rms ac
• 2 and 4-wire resistance measurements
• Extended 10 Q and I GQ ranges
• Frequency measurements to 1 MHz
• Capacitance measurements (4050 Only)
