Sweep compensation added to the PSM range
When using our PSM range in LCR mode, compensation of the parasitic impedances found in
connection cables has always been offered for specified single frequencies. Now, a
versatile sweep compensation mode permits open and short circuit compensation over any
selected frequency range with a user selectable number of steps and storage of the
compensation values into non-volatile memory for recall at any time.

PSM1735 NumetriQ 35Mhz Phase Sensitive Multimeter
New product: PSM1735 NumetriQ, high frequency Phase Sensitive Multimeter.
Covering an exceptional frequency range of over 12½ decades (10µHz to 35MHz) PSM1735 NumetriQ uses direct digital analysis and heterodyning techniques to achieve outstanding accuracy (eg. high frequency phase accuracy of 0.1° + 0.0001°/kHz) at a fraction of the price of other high frequency instruments.
PSM1735 NumetriQ uses the same proven, easy to use controls and display as the PSM1700 PsimetriQ, and has the same versatile set of functions: FRA, PAV, LCR, power harmonics and true RMS. The inputs are balanced, ground referenced, differential inputs suitable for direct connection or for use with oscilloscope probes to minimise circuit loading.
The versatile high accuracy measurements at high and low frequencies at low cost makes the PSM1735 NumetriQ suitable for production testing and education as well as research and development applications.

PsimetriQ PSM1700 adds datalog capability.
PsimetriQ PSM1700 now has the capability to record up to 8000 measurements at a user defined interval from 10ms to 1 hour. Up to 4 results may be stored per record, and either saved to RAM or directly into non-volatile memory. Each function may then be viewed as a table or as a graph against time. As with all functions of N4L instruments, the data may be retrieved to a PC for further analysis.
