The BK Precision 5493C 6½-digit bench multimeters are designed for accuracy, repeatability and ease-of-use. A wide measurement range with speeds up to 1000 readings per second, and a basic DCV accuracy up to 35 ppm deliver stable measurement results quickly and accurately. These general purpose meters are well suited for demanding engineering, production and service applications.

The multimeters feature simple and intuitive switching between the 12 measurement functions and display modes for a variety of test setups. Display modes include bar meter, trend chart, and histogram which can be combined with statistics or math functions. The dual measurement feature enables the simultaneous display of 2 measurements, e.g. AC voltage and frequency. Additionally, Limit mode and Probe hold mode allow users to conveniently verify and compare readings. 

For remote communication, this series includes standard LAN, USB (USBTMC-compliant) and RS232 interfaces, as well as a GPIB option. A LabVIEWTM driver is provided to simplify system integration and instrument control.

The front panel USB host port can be used for transferring screen captures and measurement data, logged with date and time stamp, from the multimeter's internal memory to a computer.

The provided operating software supports remote instrument control, live measurement monitoring, and data logging.
