The Data Precision 8200 is a 6 1/2-digit DC voltage and current calibrator engineered for precision signal generation and circuit calibration. Microcomputer-controlled with Incrematic™ decade assist, this instrument delivers completely isolated analog outputs across multiple ranges with exceptional stability and settling performance. The 8200 suits both manual test benches and automated test equipment systems, particularly when configured with the optional IEEE-488 bus interface for remote programming and system integration.
