DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz UDS500 is a professional 5.5-digit digital multimeter developed for engineers, technicians, educators, and manufacturing environments requiring reliable and accurate electrical measurements. As part of the R&S Essentials portfolio, the UDS500 combines intuitive operation, modern connectivity, and comprehensive measurement functionality within a compact bench-top instrument.
The instrument supports twelve primary measurement functions including DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, 4-wire resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, diode testing, temperature measurement, and power calculations. True RMS measurement capability ensures accurate readings on complex and non-sinusoidal waveforms commonly encountered in modern electronic systems.
A large 3.5-inch colour display can simultaneously present up to three measurement values, improving efficiency during troubleshooting, validation, and production testing. Integrated mathematical and statistical functions provide Min/Max analysis, averaging, limit testing, offset calculations, dB, dBm, and DC power measurements directly from the instrument.
The UDS500 offers a basic DC accuracy of 0.015% and measurement rates of up to 200 readings per second. Auto-ranging and manual-ranging modes allow users to optimise measurement speed and accuracy according to the application. Four-wire resistance measurement capability enables precise low-resistance testing of components, connectors, wiring, and assemblies.
USB and LAN interfaces allow straightforward integration into automated test systems and remote-control applications. SCPI command compatibility simplifies instrument control and supports automated measurement workflows used in production and quality assurance environments.
The combination of measurement performance, broad functionality, and ease of use makes the UDS500 suitable for electronics development, manufacturing, maintenance, quality control, repair operations, educational laboratories, and general-purpose electrical testing applications.
