higher resolution, accuracy & functionality
Greater resolution and
accuracy
The 1906 is a true 51/2digit meter with a
scale length of
This gives it not just superior resolution
relative to 4
higher effective accuracy as well.
Thediagram showshow theeffective ac
curacy varies with reading after taking
into account the fixed errors. Over a
range of voltages, the 1906 is around
four times more accurate than a typical

Greater sensitivity and
higher input impedance
With a maximum resolution of 1µV, 1mΩ
and 1nA, the1906 is ten times more sensi
tive than a 4
This extra sensitivity enables accurate
measurements to be made in areas previ
ously impossible such as thermocouple
junctions, switch contact resistance or ca
pacitor leakages.

The wide bandwidth voltage attenuator
provides high accuracy within the audio
band and gives extended response to
avoid distortion when measuring switching
waveforms.
Auto or manual ranging
The 1906 offers fully automatic ranging
on all functions including current. Alter

Resistance measurements can bemade
in either 2 terminal or 4 terminal mode.
High impedance sensing ensures that
the meter switches automatically be
tween modes.

For low resistance measurements, 4 ter

and repeatability.

Closed case calibration
The 1906 stores its calibration constants
in permanentmemory (EEPROM). Consequently it can be recalibrated without
ever opening the case.

Storage of front-panel
set-ups
The 1906 can store up to six front panel
set-ups in non-volatile memory.
In addition to the range and function
each set-up defines the active comput
ing or logging functions along with their
parameters.
This facility is particularly valuable when
