You don't need to sacrifice ruggedness, safety, and quality to enjoy the accuracy and Features needed in today's changing maintenance environment. The Tektronix TX-DMM^TM True RMS digital multimeters feature an extra large, dual numeric display that provides more information in fewer steps and can be viewed from across the room.

The simple user interface eliminates guesswork and allows you to view AC and DC values without changing meter function, saving troubleshooting time.

The data storage capability allows measurements to be saved into memory and later recalled or downloaded to a PC using the optional WSTRM PC interface package.

WSTRM consists of WaveStar^TM for Meters software and a PC interface cable. WSTRM provides virtual digital multimeter capability, real-time data logging, and easy documentation on a Windows^®95/NT platform. Error-free data recording is a necessity for successful preventive maintenance programs.

TX-DMM digital RMS technology provides high accuracy, 50,000 count resolution, and fast AC settling time.

WSTRM is the complete solution for data transfer and analysis from the TX-DMM multimeters to a PC. The WSTRM Features WaveStar for Meters software and includes an interface cable.

WaveStar for Meters software allows users to easily capture, analyze, and record TX-DMM data, as well as professionally create, save, and print documents. Through its unique virtual instrument interface, WaveStar software enables remote access and control of the TX-DMM from a PC, without the need for programming. WaveStar software's familiar Windows^®95/NT Features, such as drag-and-drop, provide users a quick and simple means for inserting important DMM information into other Windows applications.

The included cable provides an interface between the TX-DMM IR port and the PC's RS-232 port.
