The Keithley 2001 is a high-performance 7.5-digit digital multimeter designed for precision testing and measurement. Featuring a true 28-bit A-to-D converter, it delivers exceptional resolution without the need for averaging, ensuring high-speed measurement integrity. Uniquely equipped with an internal peak detector, it can capture transients and spikes down to 1 µs without requiring a separate oscilloscope.
