The Tektronix DM5010 is a programmable digital multimeter engineered as a plug-in module for the TM5000-Series power modules. It delivers precision measurements across DC voltage, resistance, True RMS AC voltage, AC + DC voltage, and diode testing with a 4.5-digit LED display. Remote programming via high-level ASCII commands over IEEE 488 (GPIB) enables seamless integration into automated test equipment systems. The instrument combines measurement versatility with advanced analytical capabilities, including internal mathematical functions for averaging, scaling, offset, dB conversion, statistical analysis, and pass/fail comparison logic.
