The Tektronix DM501 is a 4½ digit multimeter plug-in for the TM500 system.
(See DM501A for the significantly different successor model.)
It also has a temperature input, requiring the P6058 or P6430 temperature probe with a 4-pin LEMO S-series connector.
The DM501 MOD718D variant replaced the temperature range with a 200 mV input range providing 10 μV resolution (see Physical Measurements Handbook).

Internals
The DM501 is precise to 4½ digits, but not accurate to 4½ digits. The combination of a D-to-A converter built from opamps and discretes combined with a noisy high-frequency isolated power supply make for barely achievable 3½ digit accuracy over all ranges. Every TM500 DVM after the 501 (including the DM501A, the DM502, and so on) used integrated A-to-D converters and a mains-frequency isolated power supply.
