SPECIFICATION
Introduction
The O M SOlA Digital Multimeter measures dc vOltage
and current, ae voltage and current, d 8m, dBV, resistance,
and temperature. The ac functions are ac coupled only,
true rms responding. All the functions and ranges are front
panel push button selected, including the rear interface
connector input.
Readout in dBm or dBV is selected by an internal
jumper. The unit is shipped with the internal jumper in the
dBm position.
The readout is a
0.4"
high,
4 1/2
digit display using
seven segment LED. The decimal poi nt is automatically
positioned depending on the selected operating range of
the instrument. Polarity indication is automatic.
Accessories
Standard accessories include this instruction manual, a
set of test leads and the TEKTRONIX
P6601
temperature
probe with its instruction manual.
The P6601 temperature probe and temperature
measurement capabilities are deleted for Option 2 In·
struments.
Performance Conditions
The electrical characteristics are valid only if the
OM
501A
has been calibrated at an ambient temperature
between +210 C and +250 C and is operating at an ambient
temperature between ooe and
+50°C,
unless otherwise
noted.
Items listed in the Performance Requirements column
of the Electrical Characteristics are verified by completing
the Performance Check in the Calibration section at this
manual. These items are either explanatory notes or
performance characteristics for which no limits are
specified.
