1908 and 1908P 5½ digit bench/portable multimeters
Internal rechargeable batteries
for ‘use anywhere’ versatility
Unlike most high performance bench multimeters, the 1908 and
1908P can operate without AC power whenever required.
The batteries are charged from the internal power supply and
can give up to 40 hours of operation.
This enables the meter to be used in locations where no AC line
power is available, or moved around multiple room locations
without the nuisance of having to find a power socket.
When precision measurements are needed, handheld portable
multimeters may not be up to the task. The 1908/1908P
not only offers fully portable precision, but also built-in data
logging for remote locations.
Key Features
Dual display and dual measurement capability
Internal rechargeable batteries for true portability
High accuracy and resolution: 0.02%, 1μV, 1nA, 1mW
Frequency, capacitance and temperature measurements
Wide range of maths and data logging functions
2 or 4 terminal ohms measurement
Wide true RMS AC; AC + DC measurements
Software for remote control and logging included
USB, RS232*, GPIB* and LAN* (LXI) interfaces
* RS232, GPIB and LAN interfaces on 1908P only.
Two models - 1908 and 1908P
The 1908 multimeter incorporates a USB interface for remote control and
readback.
The 1908P incorporates USB, RS232, GPIB and LXI compliant LAN interfaces
making it suitable for a wider range of system applications.
Both models can operate from either AC-line power or internal batteries, but
the 1908P requires AC-line power when using the remote interfaces.
Dual display and dual measurement system
The 1908 has both a main display and a secondary display. The two displays
can be used for a variety of purposes:
To display a measurement along with the selected range (e.g. 100 Vdc).
To display a measurement in two different units (e.g. ac volts and dBm).
To display the result of a calculated function (e.g. value and % deviation).
To measure and display two parameters of one signal (e.g. ac and dc volts).
To measure and display two different signals (e.g. ac volts and dc current).
