Measurements with the Push of a Button
As the circuits in embedded system designs become more sophisticated,
you must measure a multitude of different parameters to validate your
design. The Tektronix DMM4020 5.5 digit bench multimeter offers a broad
range of functions in one easy-to-use instrument.
Typical multimeter measurements – volts, ohms, and amps – are made with
a basic VDC accuracy of up to 0.015%, ensuring you have the performance
you need for your design. You can also use the DMM4 020 to measure
frequency, and to perform continuity and diode tests. This allows you
to replace yo
instrument, saving bench space and cost.
Measure Nano
Measuring standby current in today’s energy-efficient designs requires
looking at very low currents, often in t he microamp or nanoamp range.
Using a traditional multimeter for this measurement can lead to inaccurate
results since they typically e mploy the shunt resistance technique for
measuring current.
The DMM4020 offers an improved method for measuring low currents. By
using a cur

Setup Buttons for Your Common Measurements
With six setup buttons on the front panel, you can s ave the settings for your
most common measurements. Simply set up the meter fo r a measurement,
then press sh
settings. Now each time you perform that measurement, you simply press
the appropriate setup key.

Dual Display
With the unique dual display, you can measure two different parameters of
the same signal from one test connection .
Limit Compare
The limit compare mode provides pass/fail indicators to quickly show if a
test passes or fails to help eliminate mistakes, especially for results that
areclosetothelimit.
Simple and Accurate 4-wire Measurements
Patented split terminal jacks for the 2×4 ohms function allow you to perform
4-wire measurements using only two leads instead of four. Spe cial test lead
accessories are available to enable you to establish the connection. You get
excellent resolution and accuracy plus the convenience and ease of using a
single pa
ir of leads.
Intuitive Operation
Dedicated front-panel buttons provide fast access to frequently used
