Additionally, a basic question is whether using this same DMM, it is possible to measure voltage and current simultaneously. A detailed video, explaining this and detailing the accuracy of such a measurement, would be very important. Thank you.
Really interesting video; many thanks. I have a DMM6500 which I love. I have just posted a video on changing my mains transformer - “Keithley DMM6500 - Teardown, Demonstration and Mains Transformer Replacement” as I had an early unit with a noisy AC Transformer (mains hum).
Can we graph on diode mode for example like a curve tracer or "component test" to say see the break down of a Zenner diode? Very tempted to upgrade my bench meter to one of these
Great! Thank you for a most interesting video. I have done some TSP scripting to coordinate measurements and calculations between instruments, but I am looking for suggestions on other approaches. I have the 2450, 2460, 7510, and 6510 units. I would be interested in comparisons of the various sampling cards for the 6510. I have the standard 7700 card, but looking at the solid state card as an upgrade. Again, this was the best Keithley video I've seen in ages.
What an interesting presentation. A few weeks ago I mocked the DMM6500 because I didn't like its style - I thought the Keysight 34465a was way better. But now I saw your presentation 4 times. I already love the DMM6500 (quite sure I'll get one) and I'm even considering a 2450 for its 4quadrant capabilities. One question: Although it would be way to costly for me - why there is no such thing as an SMU based on the 7510? Should be around the 25.000$ range or so ;-)
When you measure power, the shunt resistor is 20 ohms. Shouldn't it be much lower? i.e 0.01 ohms? And aside from that, as you indicated that some error is generated in the voltage measurement through the Sense inputs for low voltages, because they have a fixed range of 10Volts when using the Ratio function, does it imply that the power measurement will also be subject to this error?
Input impedance of DDM is low, 1 M ohms, for AC voltage measurement of a generator. To solve the problem, assume, I connect Rs, a higher resistance (like 100 M ohm), in series with DMM (R_dmm, 1 M ohm input impedance) and then I connect both (Rs+R_dmm) across the generator. Lastly, I apply voltage divider rule to measure the actual voltage of the generator. Will this method work to pose a higher resistance across the generator? Please comment.
I own it and I love it. There is only one thing that is bugging me. I can't set precisely 2ms/div or 5mA/div on the chart. Only 1/10/100... values are possible in the scale settings. And the TSP manual says: "Settings made on the Graph and Histogram tabs are not saved as part of a saved setup. To record graph settings, you can press HOME and ENTER to save an image of the settings with the screen capture feature. Refer to Save screen captures to a USB flash drive for additional information." Come on guys... Add 1/2/5 in the graph settings.
1/2 digit shouldn't be read "half", instead 1 over 2; 1 is to define 0 to 1 2 is to define 2 possible number ie. 0 and 1 a 6000 count DMM would be 3 and 5/6 digits that is capable of 0 to 5 of the most significant digits that is out of 6 possible number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Some 6000 counts DMM sometimes can do a bit over 6000 (ie. 6100 count). a 50000 count dmm would be 4 and 4/5 digits. oddly my 6 1/2 digits DMM will do 1190000.
I love my DMM6500. Been using it everyday for almost 2 years and it has never let me down.
Great tour and some insight into modern dmms. Thanks!
I think the "+" in frequency measurement it's a proof that we are going forward in time. Great exploration!
Thank you for this video!

Just picked up a siglent for hobby use, this thing blows it out of the water. Better value for the money. On my wish list.

Very well said. Really informative.

Does KickStart come free with the DMM6500 ? I've read both that it does and that it doesn't directly from Keithley webpages.

can DMM 6500 measure the pulsed DC current in the range of 0-3 A having a frequency of 200 kHz? Thanks for this exciting video.

Helo sir, can be measured the Vrms value in DMM6500 series and if it is possible how can? please reply

How do I do the CLEAR Script like you are using? Thank you very much for your video. I learn better by doing than manuals.
Just put "reset()" in a script and load it into your meter
@@AI7KTD Thanks for your help.
I believe the question is, how do you measure a high current spike with a low current meter setting?
How to check continuity?
what is the temperature range of DMM6500
Tektronix: DMM? We'll call you when we hit $500 per digit!
1/2 digit shouldn't be read "half", instead 1 over 2;
1 is to define 0 to 1
2 is to define 2 possible number ie. 0 and 1
a 6000 count DMM would be 3 and 5/6 digits that is capable of 0 to 5 of the most significant digits that is out of 6 possible number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Some 6000 counts DMM sometimes can do a bit over 6000 (ie. 6100 count).
a 50000 count dmm would be 4 and 4/5 digits.
oddly my 6 1/2 digits DMM will do 1190000.
03.xxxx wasted digit on zero,,, so,, only 5 digits on right after all the cash
When you find something better for 1200 bucks you let us know ok...
Actually you can overload it by 20% on most ranges (except highest voltage and current).
