At $695 the 6-1/2 Digit SMU2055 is the best bang-for-the-buck. This superb USB DMM outperforms any other DMM in its category.
Signametrics Corporation has announced the release of the SMU2055 USB Digital Multimeter. At 8 ounces and dimensions of 5’’ X 7’’ X 1.3’’, it is a 90% reduction in size and power from bench-top DMMs. The SMU2055 is powered directly from the USB connection, and consumes only 1-1/2 Watts. It is ideal for use with a laptop, opening up new possibilities for portable applications.

Full featured 6-1/2 Digit DMM with USB interface:
· DC Volts, 4 ranges · DC current, 4 ranges · AC Volts, 4 ranges, True RMS · AC current, 4 ranges, True RMS · Ohms, 2Wire and 4Wire, 6 ranges · Diode Test at 4 user selectable currents, 1uA to 1mA · Up to 250 readings per second · Fast range and function changes
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.
