Revision as of 00:21, 14 September 2023
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 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).
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| DC Voltage characteristics | Input resistance 10 MΩ, CMRR >100 dB at DC, 80 dB at 60 Hz (1 kΩ unbal.), NMRR ≥30 dB at 60 Hz + 20 dB/decade |
| AC Voltage | 2 VDC to 200 VAC in decade ranges, and 500 VAC (0.7% + 0.01% FS for sine inputs only) |
| AC Voltage characteristics | Input impedance 10 MΩ // ≤70 pF, CMRR unspecified |
| DC Current | 2 mA to 2 A in decade ranges, 0.2% + 0.05% FS |
| AC Current | 2 mA to 2 A in decade ranges, 0.6% + 0.05% FS (for 40 Hz to 1 kHz sine) |
| Ohms | 2 kΩ to 20 MΩ in decade ranges, current 1 mA to 0.1 μA respectively; 0.3% (20 MΩ: 0.5%) + 0.01% FS |

Options
- Option 1: Ordering without P6058 Temp Probe
- Option 2: Without Temp Capability and Probe (visible by no Temp Out at the Front)
Internals
The DM501 is precise to 4½ digits, but not accurate to 4½ digits. The combination of an ADC 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.
