5492B
True RMS Bench Multimeter
The B&K Precision model 5492B is a versatile
5½-digit, 120,000-count bench multimeter
suitable for applications in education, service
repair, and manufacturing. The instrument
enhances your productivity with built-in math
functions and USB connectivity. Rel, Max/Min,
dBm, dB, %, and Hold functions provide
educators with a convenient tool to teach basic
math concepts. Additionally, the 5492B offers
powerful features not commonly found in other
5½- digit DMMs such as advanced triggering,
buffer storage operation, and a GPIB interface
option.
Increase Productivity with PC Connectivity
The 5492B is programmable via USB, RS232,
and GPIB (5492BGPIB only) interface using
industry standard SCPI commands. Users can
remotely control and configure the instrument
from a PC and retrieve measurement results for
further analysis. The multimeter can also be
remotely controlled using application software
(via USB & RS232), which supports front panel
emulation and data logging of measurement
results.
The 5492B measures volts and amps with great
accuracy and stability, with basic VDC accuracy
of 0.01%. The meter is also capable of measuring frequency, period, resistance, continuity, and
performing diode tests. Readings can be taken at
a maximum rate of 57 readings/sec and stored
to an internal 512-byte buffer for post
acquisition statistical analysis.
The 5492B was designed for cost-conscious
users requiring an accurate meter with a broad
range of features offered at a value price.

Limit Operation
The limit operation lets you set and control the
values that determine a HI / IN / LO status of
subsequent measurements. The meter can be
configured to emit an audible alarm when
readings are outside of the configured limit.
Advanced Triggering
A variety of advanced trigger options are
available: Manual Trigger via a front panel button
press, Bus Trigger sending a *TRG command
via PC interface, External Trigger using the EXT
TRIG input terminal on the rear panel.
Additionally, a trigger delay can be programmed
after an event detection, and a VM Comp output
is available to indicate the instrument’s
completion of a present measurement.

Fast Buffering with Built-in
Statistics
The 5492B provides an internal buffer capable
of storing up to 512 readings. Buffer storage
operation can be enabled via front panel or
remote command. The buffer fills up with the
requested number of readings at a rate of up to
57 readings/sec and then stops. The instrument
automatically calculates statistical information
based on the stored readings such as minimum,
maximum, or average reading, and standard
deviation, which can then be retrieved along with
the readings via the front panel or remote
command.
