The Keithley 2010 Series is a 7.5 digit multimeter with integrated 10-channel scanning, engineered for high-precision DC and AC measurements in research, development, and quality control environments. Built on the same analog-to-digital converter architecture as the 2000, 2001, and 2002 series, it delivers 7 ppm DC voltage repeatability and 100 nV RMS noise floor with 15 measurement functions including voltage, current, resistance, temperature, frequency, and diode testing.
Technical Specifications

Measurement Functions
Fifteen built-in functions cover DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2-wire and 4-wire resistance, dry circuit resistance, RTD and thermocouple temperature, frequency, period, ratio, continuity, and diode testing.
Electrical Specifications
• Power supply: 100V / 120V / 220V / 240V ±10%
• Line frequency: Automatically senses 45 Hz to 66 Hz and 360 Hz to 440 Hz
• Power consumption: 22 VA
– Key Features
• Integrated 10-channel scanner mainframe for multipoint measurements
• Low-Power Ohms mode with source current as low as 100 µA, minimizing device self-heating
• Dry Circuit Test function limiting open circuit test voltage to 20 mV to prevent oxide puncturing
• Offset Compensated Ohms function eliminates thermal errors in low-level resistance measurements
• Extended 10 Ω resistance range for precise low-resistance measurements
• Fast autoranging and function switching with programmable internal and external triggering
– Typical Applications
End-of-life contact testing per ASTM B539-90, connector and contact resistance characterization, multi-channel temperature monitoring via RTD and thermocouple inputs, and precision DC voltage and resistance measurements in production and failure analysis environments.
– Compatibility & Integration
Accepts optional scanner cards including the 2000-SCAN (10-channel) and 2001-TCSCAN (9-channel thermocouple). For larger-scale switching applications, the 2010 integrates with Keithley Series 7000 switch matrices and cards.
