The Tektronix VX4236 is a 6.5-digit digital multimeter engineered as a VXI module for high-precision electronic testing. This C-size VXI instrument delivers DC voltage, AC voltage, and resistance measurements, making it suitable for automated test systems requiring integrated measurement capability. Functionally equivalent to the Datron/Wavetek 1362, the VX4236 serves as the foundation for the later VX4237 model, which expanded functionality to include AC/DC current measurement and an updated VXIbus interface.
Technical Specifications
• Resolution: 6.5-digit display
• Measurement Functions: DC voltage, AC voltage, resistance
