Convenient USB flash drive storage function:

The GW Instek GDM-8342 provides a USB flash drive storage function, which allows users to conveniently save data into a USB flash drive through a simple and proper setting. This unique function, different from other digital multimeters which must first save data into its own internal memory then transfer out the file, or connect multimeters with a computer to retrieve data, not only saves operational time but also cuts down the cost and time of developing programs.

The USB storage function allows each flash drive to establish 100 folders (GW000 ~ GW099). Each folder has a capacity of saving 5,000,000 data files (which are divided into 100 sub-file names, therefore, each sub-file name can save 50,000 data files.

Selectable measurement speeds:

The GW Instek GDM-8342 has three selectable measurement speeds- fast/medium/slow. For instance, the DC voltage measurement can reach 40 readings per second on the fast mode, which can maximize the effectiveness of each measurement.

Varied measurement functions:

The GW Instek GDM-8342 provides various measurement items and functionalities compared with that of the products of same category. There are twelve major measurement items of this series including AC voltage/current, DC voltage/current, AC+DC voltage/current, two-wired resistance, capacitance, Frequency/ period, diode and continuity beeper test. Temperature measurement is an optional function for GDM-8342. Many auxiliary functions, such as maximum/minimum values, reading hold, relative values, dB, dBm, algorithms (MX+B, 1/X, Ref%) and comparison, are designed to reinforce the major measurement items to satisfy users’ daily working requirements.

Dual Measurement / Dual Display

The GW Instek GDM-8342 is similar to GW INSTEK’s 6 1/2 and 5 1/2 digits multimeters in that it is equiped with dual display to support possible combinations of measurement items. For example, the DC voltage and current or DC voltage with AC element will appear when monitoring components of test wiring. The results of each measurement will simultaneously appear on different displays that not only save users’ precious time but also exempt users from the trouble of selecting displays while reading measurement results.

Command compatibility & Free software for remote control and data retrieving:

The GW Instek GDM-8342 provides free USB protocol connection software- Excel ADDins for users’ easy access. After installing the software, Microsoft Excel will establish Marco for users to directly control the setting of the GDM-8342 to record the results of the measurements. The recorded data will be synchronously transformed into graphic displays via Excel drawing function that not only eliminates the cost and time of developing programs but also overcomes the compatibility issue of different programming languages.

GW Instek GDM-8342Specifications:

Note: The specifications apply when the DMM is warmed up for at least 30 minutes and operates only under main display in slow mode.
