Boost Your Measurement Speed & Efficiency
The GDM-8261A is a high precision 6 % digit Digital Multimeter with dual measurement displays, 11 measurement functions and 10 math
functions at high accuracy (35ppm DC voltage accuracy) to accommodate the most frequently performed parameter measurements in
various application fields today.
The GDM-8261A adopts a scanner card, which carries 16 V-Channels and 2 I-Channels, to facilitate the measurements of multiple-test
points on either a device or multiple devices all at a press of a button. With this multi-point measurement capability, the GDM-8261A can
be used as a semi-auto ATE System to increase the throughput of manufacturing test or as a data logger to perform long term monitoring
or characterization of a DUT. A PC Software, DMM-Viewer, is available with GDM-8261A to support multi-channel panel setting and data
logging of the scanner card. Besides, a LabVIEW driver is also supported to help user create his/her own virtual instrument on the PC
screen for easy programming. For ATE system measurements or remote control applications, both USB and RS-232C Interfaces are
provided as standard, and either GPIB or LAN can be selected as optional interface for the GDM-8261A.
A. IDEAL FOR BENCH ASSIGNMENTS
The GDM-8261A includes all the basic measurement functions that
are required for engineers to handle design, development and
testing jobs for electronic circuits or products. The basic

(dBm, dB, compare and other mathematical operations) to
accommodate specific measurement requirements and complex
measurement applications.

The GDM-8261A offers two methods, both 2-wire and 4-wire, for
resistance measurements. The 2-wire measurement is most commonly
used for resistance measurement in the range from 100 to 10kQ.
Whereas the 4-wire connection is normally applied for resistance
measurement at a value lower than 100Q2. When applied, 4-wire
measurement automatically compensates the test lead resistance and
connector contact resistance to get an accurate measurement result.
MATH MEASUREMENT

The “Math” function of GDM-8261A includes four mathematical
operations for measurements: MX+B, 1/X, Percentage and Stats.
“MX+B” multiplies the measurement reading (X) by a factor (M) and
adds/subtracts an offset value (B) to calculate linear offsets or scales.
The “1/X” function divides 1 by the measurement reading (X),
calculating the inverse of the reading. The “Percentage” function
calculates the ratio of the measured value to a target value using the

The GDM-8261A is able to acquire and record 2 ~ 9999
measurement readings for the “store” and “recall” functions.
This allows an immediate observation of the maximum, minimum,

include Maximum, Minimum, Average and Standard deviation. With
these mathematical operations, the GDM-8261A makes complex
measurements quick and easy without the complexity of manual
calculations.

The GDM-8261A performs temperature measurement accommodating
a wide range of temperature sensors of either thermocouples or RTD
(Resistive Temperature Detectors). For thermocouples, the GDM-8261A
uses voltage measurement terminals as the thermocouple input and
calculates the temperature from the voltage fluctuation. Most of the

popular thermocouple types are supported for temperature
measurement on the GDM-8261A. For RTD sensors, the GDM-8261A
calculates the voltage fluctuation arisen from the resistance variation
due to temperature change. Either front panel terminals or scanner
card terminals can be used as the input for temperature sensor.
