Covering a wide range of measurements from 1 micro ohm to 200 kilo ohm, the DO6 is a comprehensive measuring instrument with many features incorporated as standard.

These benefits include manual and automatic range selection; temperature compensation for copper, referencing the measurement of copper to 20°C; voltage limiting facility for those wishing to measure switch contact resistance to International Standards, the measurement voltage is limited to 20mV.

An RS232 serial interface gives full talk / listen capability, making it simple to add to an automated measuring system. Hi / Lo limits may be set over the interface with voltage-free contacts being available on the rear panel.

For those wishing to measure inductive circuits e.g. motor windings, a special protection circuit may be initiated thus avoiding any problems that may arise due to induced high voltage.
