Introduction

Introduction

The DMM4040 and 4050 are 6-1/2 digit, dual-display multimeters designed for bench-top, field service, and system applications. Their full complement of measurement functions plus its RS-232, IEEE 488, and Ethernet Remote Interfaces makes these multimeters ideal candidates for precision manual measurements and use in automated systems. For portability, these multimeters include a carrying handle that also serves as a bail for bench top operation.

There are a few additional features in the DMM4050 that are not present in the DMM4040. These features will be identified with the annotation of “4050 Only” by each feature that is found only in that model. Separate specification tables are also used to clarify the differences between these two models.

The following is a list of some of the features and functions:

Bright, large-digit, wide-viewing-angle display

Dual display for displaying two properties of an input signal (e.g., ac voltage in one display and frequency in the other).

Remote operation via IEEE 488, RS-232, and Ethernet interface.

Trigger in and measurement-complete out

Front panel USB port for optional memory

6-1/2 digit resolution

Half-rack width

True rms ac

2 and 4-wire resistance measurements

Extended 10 and 1 Granges

Frequency measurements to 1 MHz

Capacitance measurements (4050 only)

Temperature measurement (4050 only)

10 A current capability

Decibels (dB and dBm) with variable reference impedance and audio power measurement capability

Input terminals on both front and rear panels of the meter

Closed-case calibration (no internal calibration adjustments)

This technical reference manual focuses on performance verification and calibration of the Tektronix DMM4040 and 4050 Digital Multimeters (hereafter referred to as the Meter).

DC Ratio .................................................................

Accuracy is +/- (Input accuracy + Reference accuracy), where Input

 

accuracy = DC Voltage accuracy for the HI to LO Input (in ppm of the

 

Input voltage), and Reference accuracy = DC Voltage accuracy for the

 

HI to LO (Sense) Reference (in ppm of the Reference voltage).

Settling Considerations...........................................

Measurement settling times are affected by source impedance, cable

 

dielectric characteristics, and input signal changes.

Settling Considerations...........................................

When measuring frequency or period after a dc offset voltage change,

 

errors may occur. For the most accurate measurement, wait up to

 

1 second for the input blocking capacitor to settle.

Measurement Considerations.................................

To minimize measurement errors, shield inputs from external noise

 

when measuring low-voltage, low-frequency signals.
