True RMS (AC or AC+DC) and Average
Responding Measurements
The 2030 allows the true RMS
value of an input to be displayed. This feature is highly desirable for
engineers and technicians working with signals that contain harmonics from
switching power supplies or UPSs. Either the AC component or both the AC+DC
components can be read by selecting the desired function or deselect true RMS
measuring and the meter will read average responding measurements. Using all
three measurements will assist in the detection of harmonics. This feature is
typically found in much more expensive bench meters.
Analog/Digital Display
The extra large liquid
crystal display shows necessary user information for fast, easy operation; and
the 4 digit, 10,000 count display provides added resolution. Special features
are displayed along the top of the LCD and quickly indicate ON/OFF status. The
41 segment bar graph updates 20 times per second, which is good for peaking and
pulling as well as indicating the presence of noise or undesired signals on an
input.
Probe Hold™
Probe Hold automatically
records a stable input signal and displays it from memory after the probes have
been removed. A stable reading is acknowledged with a tone, then displayed in
the LCD.
Auto Rel™ (Relative mode)
Auto Rel remembers an input
and displays the difference of subsequent inputs. It remains in full autoranging
mode for best resolution and widest possible input range. Also, it zeros out
test lead resistance for increased accuracy of low ohm (0.01 resolution)
measurements.
Auto MinMax™
Used as a simple data
logging device, this feature records the maximum and minimum input levels.
Through the MENU system, it will display the minimum, maximum, maximum minus the
minimum, and two types of averages, true and rolling. Auto Min Max remains in
the autoranging mode for the highest possible resolution. Competitive models
that range lock severely limit the feature's usable range.
Fault Finder™ Intermittent Detector
Fault Finder emits a
variable tone that responds quickly to changing inputs. Intermittents are
quickly identified by a distinctive sound; this allows for very easy peaking and
nulling of circuits and location of broken wires and intermittent connectors.
Peak Hold
Capture input levels as
short as 1 ms with Peak Hold. Ideal for measuring events such as current surge
and voltage spikes. Monitor a power line and reveal problem occurrences.
Safety Alerts
Numerous alerts and signals
have been included for safe meter operation. Incorrect Input Warning alerts
visually and audibly when a probe is in the current jack and a noncurrent
function is selected. Dangerous Voltage Alert indicates inputs more than 25
volts with two tones and a special LCD annunciator. Low Battery Cutoff blanks
the LCD to ensure the meter never displays an incorrect reading due to low
battery voltage.
Protective Holster
Protects meter from
accidental drops. Includes a two position tilt stand and Flex-Strap ™ for
vertical hanging from any location. |
