The DMM6500 is a modern bench/system DMM delivering more measurement functionality, best-in-class measurement insight, and a price that will not break your budget. The most recognizable feature of the DMM6500 is the large 5-inch (12.7 cm) capacitive touch screen display that makes it easy to observe, interact with, and explore measurements with “pinch and zoom” simplicity. Beyond its display technology, the DMM 6500 superior analog measurement performance delivers 25 PPM basic DCV accuracy for one year and 30 PPM for two years, potentially allowing you to extend your calibration cycles.
The DMM6500 is equipped with all the measurement functions you would expect in a bench multimeter, so there’s no need to buy additional measurement capabilities. Its 15 measurement functions, including capacitance, temperature (RTD, thermistor, and thermocouple), diode test with variable current sources, and up to 1 MS/sec digitizing are now included.
The digitizing function can be used for voltage or current and is especially useful in capturing transient anomalies or to help profile power events such as the operating states of today’s battery operated devices. Current and voltage can be digitized with a programmable 1 MS/sec 16-bit digitizer, making it possible to acquire waveforms without the need for a separate instrument.
Capture and Analyze Voltage or Current Transitions
Power analysis is becoming more important in today’s electronic designs. Designers must now consider more efficient components and complex system design typically requiring multiple power states. The DMM6500 has the tools you need to help design and troubleshoot these complex systems. Eight different current ranges allow measurements from 10 amps down to 10 pico-amps, giving you the dynamic range to measure your power states. In addition, a built-in 1 MS/sec digitizing function can help capture transient events, allowing you to see and analyze transitions as they occur.
Multi-channel/Scanning Applications
When characterizing or profiling your design it is often critical to make a series of measurements. In these applications the need for automated multi-channel measurements is advantageous. The DMM6500 is equipped with a scanner card slot allowing up to 10 channels of switching, giving you the capability to make automated multi-channel measurements. Plugging in the 2000-SCAN card gives users up to 10 channels of 2-pole measurements or 5 channels of 4-pole measurements. Functions can be programmed on a per-channel basis if supported by the switch topology.
Application Programs
The DMM6500 is factory installed with application programs to help you get more out of your instrument. These application programs appear when the instrument is used in the TSP or native SCPI communication language mode. These examples highlight the unique ability of the DMM6500 to run specialized applications which customize the user interface. This can significantly change the way information is displayed or even automated in performing an application.
Temperature Measurement Applications
Temperature is one of the most measured signal types in the world, and the DMM6500 has many options to help you make this measurement. Besides RTD, thermistor, and thermocouple functions, you can equip your DMM with a nine-channel scanner card with built-in CJC for automated thermocouple temperature scanning. This feature is very useful when your design requires thermal profiling, especially when enclosed in a temperature chamber.
Ready to Use Instrument Drivers Simplify Programming

System Integration and Programming
Users have maximum programming flexibility with the DMM6500. In addition to traditional SCPI programming (default), the unit can also be configured for SCPI emulation for the Keithley 2000 or the Keysight 34401A. Additionally, Keithley’s powerful Test Script Processor (TSP®) programming is another option that allows unique single- or multi-instrument testing applications where speed is critical.
TSP® scripting allows running powerful test scripts directly on the instrument, without the need for an external PC controller. These test scripts are complete test programs based on an easy-to-use yet highly efficient and compact scripting language, LUA (www.lua.org). Scripts are a collection of instrument control commands and/or program statements. Program statements control script execution and provide facilities such as variables, functions, branching, and loop control. This allows you to create powerful measurement applications without an integrated development environment (IDE). Test scripts can contain any sequence of routines that are executable by conventional programming languages (including decisionmaking algorithms), so the instrument can manage every facet of the test without the need to communicate with a PC for decision making. This eliminates delays due to GPIB, Ethernet, or USB traffic congestion and greatly improves test times.
TSP technology also offers mainframe-less channel expansion. The KTTI-TSP is a user installable accessory card offering connectivity to TSP-Link® technology. This channel expansion bus allows connecting multiple DMM6500’s or other TSP-enabled instruments together to form a tightly synchronized instrument system. Connection is provided with simple low cost Category 5 Ethernet cabling. The system is organized in a master-subordinate configuration, essentially allowing the connected instruments to act as one. Other Keithley TSP-enabled instruments include the 2450 and 2460 Graphical SourceMeter® SMU Instruments, Series 2600B SourceMeter® SMU Instruments, DMM7510, DAQ6510, and the Series 3700A Switch/Multimeter Measurement systems. TSP-Link technology supports up to 32 units, so it’s easy to scale a system to fit the requirements of an application.
KickStart Instrument PC Control Software
KickStart allows you to configure, test, and collect data from multiple instruments, including DMMs, power supplies, SMU instruments, and dataloggers. You can control up to eight instruments at the same time and retrieve millions of readings from each instrument. This makes KickStart a great solution for your datalogging needs and for capturing lots of data from transient events with a digitizing DMM.
Getting insights quickly is important, so KickStart plots your data immediately and dedicates a large portion of the viewing area to the graph, while also allowing you to view and edit the most essential parameters of other instruments in your test setup. Kickstart also includes comparison tools to allow you to plot and overlay data from the run history of each test.
Key KickStart features:
Automate data collection from up to eight instruments
Replicate tests quickly using saved test configurations
Use statistical summaries and built-in plotting and comparison tools to quickly discover measurement anomalies and trends
Export data in ready-to-use formats for additional analysis or to share test updates with your colleagues
Kickstart allows you to perform and setup a test quickly and easily using a single point-and-click setup screen
KickStart allows you to display data in both graphical and tabular formats. Mouse over the data in the graph to see exact values or use cursors to view detail on multiple data series at once.
