The DMM6500 is a modern bench/system DMM

delivering more measurement functionality, best-in-class

measurement insight, and a price that will not break your

budget. The most recognizable feature of the DMM6500

is the large 5-inch (12.7 cm) capacitive touch screen

display that makes it easy to observe, interact with, and

explore measurements with “pinch and zoom” simplicity.

Beyond its display technology, the DMM 6500 superior

analog measurement performance delivers 25 PPM basic

DCV accuracy for one year and 30 PPM for two years,

potentially allowing you to extend your calibration cycles.

The DMM6500 is equipped with all the measurement

functions you would expect in a bench multimeter,

so there’s no need to buy additional measurement

capabilities. Its 15 measurement functions, including

capacitance, temperature (RTD, thermistor, and

thermocouple), diode test with variable current sources,

and up to 1 MS/sec digitizing are now included.

The digitizing function can be used for voltage or current

and is especially useful in capturing transient anomalies or

to help proﬁle power events such as the operating states

of today’s battery operated devices. Current and voltage

can be digitized with a programmable 1 MS/sec 16-bit

digitizer, making it possible to acquire waveforms without

the need for a separate instrument.

Datasheet Capture and Analyze Voltage or Current Transitions Power analysis is becoming more important in today’s electronic designs. Designers must now consider more efficient components and complex system design typically requiring multiple power states. The DMM6500 has the tools you need to help design and troubleshoot these complex systems. Eight different current ranges allow measurements from 10 amps down to 10 pico-amps, giving you the dynamic range to measure your power states.

Datasheet Multi-channel/Scanning Applications Temperature Measurement Applications When characterizing or profiling your design it is often critical to make a series of measurements. In these applications the need for automated multi-channel measurements is advantageous. The DMM6500 is equipped with a scanner card slot allowing up to 10 channels of switching, giving you the capability to make automated multi-channel measurements.

DMM6500 6½-Digit Bench/System Digital Multimeter System Integration and Programming Users have maximum programming flexibility with the DMM6500. In addition to traditional SCPI programming (default), the unit can also be configured for SCPI emulation for the Keithley 2000 or the Keysight 34401A. Additionally, Keithley’s powerful Test Script Processor (TSP®) programming is another option that allows unique single- or multi-instrument testing applications where speed is critical.

Datasheet KickStart Instrument PC Control Software KickStart allows you to configure, test, and collect data from multiple instruments, including DMMs, power supplies, SMU instruments, and dataloggers. You can control up to eight instruments at the same time and retrieve millions of readings from each instrument. This makes KickStart a great solution for your datalogging needs and for capturing lots of data from transient events with a digitizing DMM.
