# 2002 Keithley Multimeter Used

### Key Features at a Glance

-   True 8.5-digit resolution based on a 28-bit A/D converter
-   DC voltage to 1100 V; 1 nV resolution; >100 GΩ input impedance
-   Unique single-phase method for 4-wire ohms measurements
-   HP 3458A emulation mode
-   TRMS AC, average AC, peak AC, AC+DC, and crest factor measurement
-   1 Hz to 15 MHz frequency counter with fully adjustable trigger level
-   Built-in 10-channel scanner option for scan-and-measure systems
-   IEEE-488.2 and SCPI compatible

In summary, the Keithley 2002 is an 8.5-digit high-performance digital multimeter that delivers metrology-class accuracy at a fraction of the price of comparable instruments. It is based on the same measurement technology as the 7.5-digit 2001, but extends resolution and accuracy specifications for production test, design verification, and metrology applications where the highest accuracy is critical.

## What is the Keithley 2002 used for?

The 2002 is used in calibration laboratories, metrology benches, and high-end production test where the resolution and accuracy of an 8.5-digit DMM are required. Common applications include DCV transfer measurements against standard cells, precision resistor characterization, low-frequency AC measurement, and any application where the measurement floor is set by the DMM's own noise and accuracy.

### How does the 2002's 4-wire ohms method differ?

The 2002 uses a single-phase technique for 4-wire ohms measurement, which is twice as fast for a given power-line cycle rate as conventional DMMs. It also eliminates errors caused by changing lead resistance from fast test handlers, and includes built-in open-lead detection that eliminates many production-test problems.

### Entity authority

The 2002 sits in the same metrology tier as the HP/Agilent 3458A and is the standard 8.5-digit Keithley DMM in calibration laboratories. The 3458A emulation mode allows the 2002 to drop into existing 3458A-controlled metrology systems with minimal code change.

### Applications

-   Calibration laboratories — ISO 17025 verification of precision sources
-   Standard-cell comparisons and DCV transfer measurements
-   Precision resistor characterization at ppm-level accuracy
-   Low-frequency AC measurement for vibration and control work
-   Peak-spike capture, frequency counting, and temperature measurement

## Accessories Supplied

## Product Core and Specifications

Like the 2001, the 2002 uses a 28-bit A/D and a patented AC measurement circuit that bypasses the prime error-contributing section of conventional RMS converters. The 2002 extends the 2001's resolution by an extra digit, sharpens 4-wire ohms speed and accuracy, and adds support for SPRTs (Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers) to ITS-90 in addition to thermocouples and 100 Ω platinum RTDs.
