Built for accuracy, designed for ease: Introducing the new R&S UDS digital multimeter series

Rohde & Schwarz presents the new R&S UDS digital multimeter series. The compact instruments can display three measurements simultaneously and offer versatile measurement functions and various interfaces for remote control. Models are available with a digit resolution of 5 ½ as well as 6 ½, the latter providing a basic DC accuracy of 0.0075 percent. The R&S UDS series replaces the established R&S HMC8012 digital multimeter, offering more accuracy and an updated intuitive user interface for smooth and efficient testing.

The new R&S UDS digital multimeters from Rohde & Schwarz offer a versatile range of testing capabilities, making them ideal for troubleshooting, component testing, and system validation applications, as well as for teaching labs in education. Additionally, they are well-suited for production environments, where reliability and accuracy are paramount. With voltage ranges extending up to 1000 V DC and 750 V AC and a current capacity of 10 A, these multimeters provide a comprehensive solution for a wide range of measurement tasks. They come with an easy-to-use interface and a 3.5” OVGA color display for excellent readability. The large screen can simultaneously display up to three measurement values, streamlining test workflows and enhancing productivity.

Advanced Measurement Capabilities

In addition to twelve standard measurement functions, the multimeters feature built-in statistical and mathematical functions, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including two-wire and four-wire measurements, as well as limit testing.

For remote control, the new multimeters offer a variety of interfaces, including USB, IEEE-488 (GPIB) for SCPI-based commands, and LAN (Ethernet). This enables seamless integration of the R&S UDS digital multimeter into any test setup or production line, providing unparalleled flexibility and convenience.

As the well-established R&S HMC8012 digital multimeter is being phased out, the new R&S®UDS series will take its place. The instruments are part of the R&S Essentials portfolio, available from Rohde & Schwarz and selected distribution channel partners. For further information visit: R&S®UDS
