Signametrics SMU2055 - 6-1/2 Digit USB Multimeter

The SMU2055 is a robustfull featured USB Multimeter, ideal for portable applications, built on Signametrics extensive experience in DMM designs for the PCI and PXI markets.

It is simple. Signametrics has been making plug-in DMMs longer than any other supplier, and we know how to do it better and for less. Now we bring that capability to the USB market.

Hardware Components

The SMU2055 USB multimeter is powered by the same USB connection that controls it. Signal leads go straight from the SMU2055 to the test application or to a switching card. This eliminates the need for IEEE488 or other controller languages.

By cutting down on the number of components and connections in your test system, the USB DMM provides a reliable and cost effective automated measurement capabilities, without compromising performance.

Software Interface:

The software included with the SMU2055 contains a simple, quick and clean installation package. Unlike some other products, it will not change any of your S/W tools, or your computer environment, nor will it store hundreds of megabytes of files on your hard drive. Once this Plug-and-Play package is installed, a graphical control panel (seen below) is available to try out your SMU2055. All of the familiar DMM controls are available through this virtual front panel. You have the option to control the SMU2055 without doing any programming or configuration straight out of the box.

Automated applications can be configured using Visual Basic, C, C++, LabView, LabWindows/CVI, TestPoint, ATEasy, Matlab, Delphi and more. Programming the DMM is made simple by an API that provides high level commands. An on-board controller insures that the SMU2055 will operate properly on operating systems with a slower real-time response. The SMU2055 comes with drivers for Windows and Linux systems.

Common Applications of Signametrics DMMs:

The SMU2055 is suitable for a wide variety of uses. This includes automated production testing, laboratory automation, and Portable/field testing. Major users of Signametrics DMMs are in automotive and aerospace industries, education, and research & development.

Safe and Reliable:

For safety and accuracy the SMU2055 has a 330V isolation barrier from the PC, making it a true differential and floating instrument. The rugged input protection enhances reliability. Accuracy is maintained with state of the art precision components.
