The Rohde & Schwarz URE2 is a high-precision, broadband true RMS voltmeter for accurate voltage measurement across DC and AC signals spanning 10 Hz to 25 MHz. Built on a patented rectifier circuit with microprocessor-controlled auto-calibration, it delivers measurement speeds exceeding 30 measurements per second and accommodates signals with crest factors up to 7. The instrument measures voltages from 10 µV to 300 V AC and 50 µV to 300 V across its full range, with 1 MΩ input impedance and low input capacitance.
