True 6-1/2 digit USB DMMs
While most 6-1/2 digit DMM’s are limited to around ±1,000,000 A/D counts, the SMU2055 sports ±2,400,000 counts. This is gives ten (10) times the resolution for a wide range of inputs. For example, the SMU2055 measures 14VDC with 10uV resolution, while other 6-1/2 digit DMMs are limited to 100uV resolution. This high dynamic range reduces the number of times you need to change ranges, allowing shorter test times.
