GW Instek GDM-8261A Benchtop Digital Multimeter

Overview

The GW Instek GDM-8261A is a high-precision 6½-digit benchtop digital multimeter designed for laboratory, manufacturing, and automated test environments. Featuring dual measurement displays and 11 measurement functions with 10 integrated math functions, the GDM-8261A achieves 35ppm DC voltage accuracy to handle critical parameter measurements across various application fields.

The instrument incorporates an optional scanner card with 16 voltage channels and 2 current channels, enabling multi-point measurements on multiple devices with a single button press. This multi-channel capability makes the GDM-8261A suitable for use as a semi-automated ATE system or as a data logger for long-term device monitoring and characterization.
