Fluke / Wavetek / Datron 1362S 6.5 Digit Multimeter VXI Module

The Fluke/Wavetek/Datron 1362S is a 6.5-digit VXI multimeter module engineered for precision measurement within automated test systems. This C-size, single-slot VXIbus card delivers selectable resolution from 4.5 to 6.5 digits across DC voltage, AC voltage, resistance, and current measurements. Read rates reach 1000 readings per second at 4.5-digit resolution, stepping down to 5 readings/sec at 6.5-digit resolution for DC voltage. The module stores measurement blocks of 1 to 1000 readings and supports both front-panel and VXI backplane triggering via synchronous and asynchronous protocols. Programming is handled through SCPI-compatible commands over IEEE-488.2 interfaces, enabling seamless integration into complex test architectures. ## Technical Specifications Measurement Resolution & Speed • Resolution: 4.5 to 6.5 digits (selectable); up to 6.5 digits for DC voltage and resistance; 5.5 digits for AC current and AC voltage • Read Rate: Up to 1000 readings/sec at 4.5-digit resolution; 5 readings/sec at 6.5-digit resolution (DC voltage) • Data Storage: 1 to 1000 readings per block at high read rates DC Voltage (DCV) • Ranges: 100 mV to 300 V (decade steps) • Resolution: 1 µV (5.5 digits), 100 nV (6.5 digits) • Input Impedance: 10 GΩ (0.1–10 V ranges); 10 MΩ (100–300 V ranges) • CMRR: > 146 dB at DC; > 80 dB + NMRR at 1–60 Hz • NMRR: > 54 dB at 50/60 Hz; adds 20 dB with filter enabled • Overvoltage Protection: 300 V RMS (all ranges) • Accuracy (90 days, 23°C ± 5°C): 100 mV range ± (30 ppmR + 6 ppmFS); 10 V range ± (20 ppmR + 2 ppmFS); 300 V range ± (30 ppmR + 3 ppmFS) True RMS AC Voltage (ACV) • Ranges: 100 mV to 300 V (decade steps) • Resolution: 1 µV (5.5 digits) • Input Impedance: 1 MΩ / 100 pF • CMRR: > 80 dB (DC to 60 Hz) • Crest Factor: 5:1 at full range • Overvoltage Protection: 300 V RMS (all ranges) • Accuracy (90 days, 23°C ± 5°C): 10–40 Hz ± (0.4%R + 0.1%FS); 40 Hz–20 kHz ± (0.035%R + 0.01%FS); 300 kHz–1 MHz ± (2%R + 1%FS) Resistance (Ω) • Ranges: 100 Ω to 10 MΩ (decade steps) • Resolution: 10 µΩ (6.5 digits) • Maximum Lead Resistance: 100 Ω (any or all leads) • Accuracy (90 days, 23°C ± 5°C): 100 Ω range ± (35 ppmR + 6 ppmFS); 10 kΩ range ± (30 ppmR + 3 ppmFS); 10 MΩ range ± (200 ppmR + 4 ppmFS) Integration & Control • VXI Conformance: VXI specification revision 1.4 • Programming: SCPI-compatible, IEEE-488.2 • Triggering: Front-panel or VXI backplane (synchronous and asynchronous) • Calibration: Programmable external calibration (covers-on) ## Typical Applications Automated component testing, precision voltage and resistance validation, high-speed data acquisition in production test environments, and integration into rack-mounted VXI test systems requiring traceable measurement standards. ## Compatibility & Integration The 1362S operates as a C-size VXI module compatible with standard VXIbus architectures. SCPI command language ensures cross-platform software integration, while dual triggering modes support synchronized multi-module measurement sequences.
