The DAQ6510 is a precision data acquisition and logging multimeter system built on Keithley's 6½-digit multimeter technology. It combines a full-featured digital multimeter, a multi-channel scanning switch mainframe, and a datalogger in a single instrument, using a large multi-touch display to guide users through setup, data visualization, and analysis without requiring a PC or custom software for many applications.

Across the bench and the production floor, the DAQ6510 is applied to temperature monitoring of devices during environmental testing, HALT and HASS accelerated life testing, high-volume production testing, and the characterization of single or multiple ICs. With two 6×8 matrix modules providing a total of 96 crosspoints, it can test one or multiple ICs, and RF modules allow it to switch signals from wireless devices at frequencies up to 3.5 GHz.

Brand Heritage

Keithley Instruments now operates as one of the Tektronix family of brands, and current product documentation carries both the Keithley and Tektronix names.

The DAQ6510 is a single mainframe that adapts to very different test systems through its two module slots and the Series 7700 family of 12 plug-in switch, RF, and control modules. Rather than choosing between separate instruments, a buyer configures one DAQ6510 with the modules that match the channel count, switching topology, and signal type the application requires.

The module choices span general-purpose differential multiplexers, a 6×8 matrix, single-pole control, an all-in-one I/O module with analog outputs and a counter/totalizer, digital I/O, solid-state high-speed switching, and 2 GHz and 3.5 GHz RF routing. Each module stores its own relay-closure counts in onboard memory.

Each new configuration below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Review the options that fit your channel count and signal requirements, then select the new listing that matches your budget and lead-time needs.

Within this system the DAQ6510 mainframe provides the 5-inch multi-touch display, the 6½-digit DMM, onboard TSP scripting, and front-panel terminals for stand-alone DMM use, while the plug-in modules supply the switching and I/O.

The Series 7700 modules differ chiefly in channel count, relay technology, voltage and current capacity, and bandwidth. Electromechanical multiplexers such as the 7700 (20 channels, up to 50 MHz bandwidth) and the 7702/7708 (40 channels) handle 300 V at 1 A, while the reed-relay 7703 trades capacity for sub-millisecond switching at 300 V, 500 mA. The solid-state 7710 offers the longest relay life and scanning up to 800 channels/s, but at a lower 60 V capacity.

Specialized modules extend the system further: the 7705 provides 40 single-pole control channels at 300 V / 2 A, the 7706 adds digital outputs, analog outputs, and a counter/totalizer, the 7707 combines multiplexing with 32 digital I/O lines, the 7709 is a 6×8 matrix, and the 7711 and 7712 add 2 GHz and 3.5 GHz RF routing. The comparison table summarizes channel count, configuration, voltage and current limits, bandwidth, and switch speed for each.

Product Core & Specifications

Important: The DAQ6510 carries both 1-year and 2-year accuracy specifications, with little difference between them, so the calibration cycle can be two years for most applications.

Important: When the 7701 module is connected to the internal DMM via its screw terminals, all other modules in the mainframe must be derated to 150 VDC or 150 V rms (212 V peak) for AC waveforms.

Important: Measurement accuracy specifications require that the communication accessory slot cover, or an optional KTTI interface card, is properly installed on the rear of the unit.

Usage tip: the optional TSP-Link interface lets the DAQ6510 connect to other Keithley TSP-enabled instruments — such as the 2450, 2460, and 2461 SourceMeter SMUs — to form a tightly synchronized test system controlled without a PC.

ValueTronics supplies both new and used test and measurement equipment. New units ship factory-sealed, exactly as received from the manufacturer; every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house at our 20,000 sq ft secure facility in Elgin, Illinois before it ships. Our Test Architects can help you select the condition, calibration, and configuration that fit your application.
