BK Precision 5492B - 5 1/2 Digit True RMS Bench Digital Multimeter

The BK Precision model 5492B is a versatile 5 1/2-digit, 120,000-count bench multimeter suitable for applications in education, service repair, and manufacturing. The instrument enhances your productivity with built-in math functions and USB connectivity. Rel, Max/Min, dBm, dB, %, and Hold functions provide educators with a convenient tool to teach basic math concepts. Additionally, the 5492B offers powerful features not commonly found in other 5½- digit DMMs such as advanced triggering, buffer storage operation, and a GPIB interface option.

The 5492B measures volts and amps with great accuracy and stability, with basic VDC accuracy of 0.01%. The meter is also capable of measuring frequency, period, resistance, continuity, and performing diode tests. Readings can be taken at a maximum rate of 57 readings/sec and stored to an internal 512-byte buffer for post acquisition statistical analysis.

The 5492B was designed for cost-conscious users requiring an accurate meter with a broad range of features offered at a value price.

Increase Productivity with PC Connectivity

The 5492B is programmable via USB, RS232, and GPIB (5492BGPIB only) interface using industry standard SCPI commands. Users can remotely control and configure the instrument from a PC and retrieve measurement results for further analysis. The multimeter can also be remotely controlled using application software (via USB & RS232), which supports front panel emulation and data logging of measurement results.
 

Versatile tools

Limit Operation

The limit operation lets you set and control the values that determine a HI / IN / LO status of subsequent measurements. The meter can be configured to emit an audible alarm when readings are outside of the configured limit.

Advanced Triggering

A variety of advanced trigger options are available: Manual Trigger via a front panel button press, Bus Trigger sending a *TRG command via PC interface, External Trigger using the EXT TRIG input terminal on the rear panel. Additionally, a trigger delay can be programmed after an event detection, and a VM Comp output is available to indicate the instrument’s completion of a present measurement.

Fast Buffering with Built-in Statistics

The 5492B provides an internal buffer capable of storing up to 512 readings. Buffer storage operation can be enabled via front panel or remote command. The buffer fills up with the requested number of readings at a rate of up to 57 readings/sec and then stops. The instrument automatically calculates statistical information based on the stored readings such as minimum, maximum, or average reading, and standard deviation, which can then be retrieved along with the readings via the front panel or remote command.
