DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz UDS500-G is a professional 5.5-digit digital multimeter developed for engineers, technicians, educators, and production test environments requiring reliable and accurate electrical measurements. As part of the R&S Essentials portfolio, the UDS500-G combines modern connectivity, intuitive operation, and comprehensive measurement functionality within a compact bench-top instrument.
The instrument supports twelve primary measurement functions including DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, 4-wire resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, diode testing, temperature measurement, and power calculations. True RMS measurement capability ensures accurate readings on complex waveforms encountered in modern electronic systems.
A large 3.5-inch colour display can simultaneously show up to three measurement values, improving productivity during troubleshooting, validation, and production testing. Integrated mathematical and statistical functions provide Min/Max analysis, averaging, limit testing, offset calculations, dB, dBm, and DC power measurements without requiring external software.
The UDS500-G offers a basic DC accuracy of 0.015% and measurement rates of up to 200 readings per second. Auto-ranging and manual-ranging modes allow users to optimise measurement speed and accuracy according to the application. Four-wire resistance measurement capability enables precise low-resistance measurements for component and cable testing.
For automated test systems, the instrument includes USB, LAN, and GPIB interfaces. SCPI command compatibility simplifies integration into existing test platforms and provides a straightforward migration path for users replacing older bench multimeters.
The compact design, fast measurement capability, and broad functionality make the UDS500-G suitable for electronics development, manufacturing, quality assurance, calibration, repair, and educational applications.
