Fluke / Wavetek / Datron 1362 6.5 Digit Multimeter VXI Module

The Fluke/Wavetek/Datron 1362 is a VXIbus-compatible, message-based 6.5-digit digital multimeter module engineered for high-precision automated test systems. This single-slot, C-size VXI module (revision 1.4 conformant) delivers selectable resolution from 4.5 to 6.5 digits with read rates up to 1000 per second at 4.5 digits, scaling to 5 readings per second at 6.5 digits for DC voltage. Internal memory stores 1 to 1000 readings, decoupling measurement speed from system controller bandwidth.
