Truevolt Measurement Performance
Truevolt technology is designed to address the challenges of real-world signal measurement. By minimizing noise, input bias current, and injected current, the Truevolt ADC delivers more stable and repeatable results than traditional DMM architectures.
Fast Visualization And Data Logging
Integrated graphical display modes, such as histograms, trend charts, math, and statistics, provide fast insight into signal behavior. When used with PathWave BenchVue software, measurement data can be logged, visualized, and exported without complex programming.PathWave BenchVue Basic app is free.
Typical Applications
Electronics R&D, validation and characterization, calibration and metrology labs, automated test systems (ATE), production and manufacturing test, and education or training laboratories.
