Handheld digital multimeters

4 March 2009 Test & Measurement

The new Yokogawa TY700 series is a range of handheld digital multimeters which combine high accuracy, performance and reliability with a range of new functions for both electronics and general industrial applications.

Featuring a basic accuracy of 0,020% and a 50 000 count dual display with a 51-segment bar graph, the new instruments offer true RMS measurement and simultaneous measurement and display of DC and AC as standard, as well as full support for data management via a large-capacity logging-mode memory and USB communication.

There are two models in the TY700 Series: the standard type TY710 with 20 kHz bandwidth and the advanced type TY720 with 100 kHz bandwidth. Additional features on the TY720 include switchable RMS/mean detection, a low-pass filter, a 50 mV a.c. range, and low-power resistance measurement.

The TY720 also has a logging-mode memory with a capacity of 10 000 data points, compared with 1000 for the TY710. Both products are offered with USB communication and an optional communications software package. The instruments conform to the EN61010-1 safety standard (1000 V CAT III, 600 V CAT IV), and have safety shutters for preventing the erroneous insertion of the test leads into the current measurement terminals.
