Multi-channel/Scanning 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. Plugging in the 2000-SCAN card gives
users up to 10 channels of 2-pole measurements or
5 channels of 4-pole measurements. Functions can be
programmed on a per-channel basis if supported by
the switch topology.
Temperature Measurement Applications
Temperature is one of the most measured signal types in
the world, and the DMM6500 has many options to help
you make this measurement. Besides RTD, thermistor, and
thermocouple functions, you can equip your DMM with a
nine-channel scanner card with built-in CJC for automated
thermocouple temperature scanning. This feature is very
useful when your design requires thermal profiling, especially
when enclosed in a temperature chamber.

Application Programs
The DMM6500 is factory installed with application
programs to help you get more out of your instrument.
These application programs appear when the instrument
is used in the TSP or native SCPI communication
language mode. These examples highlight the unique
ability of the DMM6500 to run specialized applications
which customize the user interface. This can significantly
change the way information is displayed or even
automated in performing an application
Menu of application programs that can customize the display or
perform special functions.
