Keithley 2700 Data Logger

The Keithley 2700 is a versatile multimeter and data acquisition system that combines DMM, switch, and data logging functionality into a single half-rack unit. True 6½-digit (22-bit) resolution delivers precision measurements across DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, temperature, frequency, period, and continuity. The mainframe accepts plug-in switch and control modules, scaling from 80 differential input channels (two-slot configuration) to 200 differential input channels (five-slot Model 2750).
