Abstract
A new microprocessor controlled digital multimeter offers significant advantages to the user. Automatic calibration and correction routines ensure long term stability and simplify maintenance; self diagnostics greatly help troubleshooting and even warn of impending failures; software implementation of logic design simplifies hardware, improves reliability and adds capabilities such as fast auto ranging and software I/O control; the ability to process data permits averaging, linearization and normalization of input measurements, minimum/maximum storage and limit detection.
