U3606B vs U3606A Digital Multimeter | DC Power Supply
Applikationsberichte
In the test and measurement world, performing tests on a device under test (DUT) requires a power source, which is typically provided by a power supply. For power measurement, a multimeter is used. As an alternative to using both a power meter and a multimeter, Keysight Technologies, Inc. offers an all-in-one unit called a digital multimeter|power supply. It combines a 5½ digit digital multimeter (DMM) and 30-W power supply, which operate simultaneously and independently.
This ability means each digital multimeter|power supply is capable of powering your DUT while you simultaneously measure voltage, current, frequency, or other operations. It also provides fast, accurate, efficient, and affordable testing while saving space on your bench or in a rack.
The original Keysight multimeter|power supply model was the U3606A. Recently the U3606B was released as a compatible replacement to the U3606A. For those looking to migrate from the U3606A to the U3606B, this application note explains the similarities between the units. It also highlights the differences between their capabilities, as well as the enhancements and additional features available in the U3606B.
