Rohde & Schwarz UDS Series – UDS500-G Digital Multimeter

The R&S UDS family of compact digital multimeters is engineered for both general-purpose and production line environments. Renowned for their versatility and precision, the multimeters can simultaneously display three measurement functions, streamlining test workflows. Beyond the standard 12 measurement functions, the multimeters offer built-in statistical and mathematical functions and an intuitive user interface for smooth and efficient testing.

Accuracy, speed and usability are vital to digital multimeters. The instruments are indispensable in circuit troubleshooting, component testing and system validation. The R&S UDS family of digital multimeters are a powerful solution, tailored for both laboratory and production testing. The large screen can display three values at the same time and be easily viewed from a distance.

The R&S UDS500-G digital multimeter has exceptional DC accuracy with 0.015 % precision. Such high levels of accuracy and 5.5 digit resolution mean that even the most minute variations can be precisely captured.

Simultaneous display of three measurements

Depending on the selected measurement function, users can display multiple measured values.

• The primary measurement value is main.

• A secondary measurement value can be activated or deactivated with the soft menu key. When activated, the secondary measurement value is displayed above the primary measurement value.

• The statistical functions are displayed below the primary measurement value.

Limit testing

Minimum and maximum analysis

The R&S UDS digital multimeters have programmable test functions, including max./min. limits on/off. The display color changes to indicate limit violations: red for out of limit values and green for within limit values. An error tone can be toggled on/off with the beeper soft menu key and sounds when limits are violated.

Resistance measurement

Two and four-wire measurements

The R&S UDS digital multimeters support both two-wire and four-wire measurements. They feature four front panel sockets: Com, V, Lo and Hi. For two-wire measurements, only the Com and V sockets are required. Four-wire measurements also require Lo and Hi sockets (Sense).

Data logging

Record all measured values

The data can be saved on an external USB flash drive or transferred to an external PC with a USB or LAN connection. The data rate of up to 10 sample/s means the measured values are available every 100 ms.

• Data logging in CSV format

• Unlimited maximum logging time

• Max. 4 Gbyte memory depth (external) for USB flash drive

• 50,000 measuring counts (internal)

Measurement versatility

Different measurement and mathematic functions

• Up to 12 measurement functions: DCV, DCI, true RMS, ACV and ACI, frequency, two-wire and four-wire resistance, capacitance, continuity test, diode test, temperature, power.

• Mathematic functions: limit testing, min./max., average, offset, DC power, dB, dBm

Full remote capabilities

All R&S UDS instruments can be remotely controlled for use in test systems. Standard commands for programmable instruments (SCPI) are used. The following interfaces are available:

• USB and LAN (Ethernet) interfaces as standard

• IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface: R&S UDS500-G and R&S UDS600-G models with additionally IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface
