Years ago I bought a large not working 19" LAB DMM (Datron 1061a). It is an
extremely precise 7.5 digits DMM for its time of 1983. Luckily it came with all
the handbooks and I am pleased to say is quite serviceable now after finding a
silly PCB plug fault.













Here is part of the exacting specification...

+/- 1.999999 on most ranges with the filtering & averaging options in.


DC VOLTS     Input Z   ---- Accuracy since last Cal------
Range:                     24hr,         90 day,   1 year




DC CURRENT             ---- Accuracy since last Cal------
Range:                     24hr,         90 day,   1 year




RESISTANCE     Test   ---- Accuracy since last Cal------
Range:      Current       24hr,        90 day,      1 year









it also measures in circuit 1 of 3 Rs.

AC RMS VOLTS  Input Z ---- Accuracy since last Cal------
Range                     24hr,        90 day,      1 year




Frequency Response flat 10Hz - 1MHz @ -2%
True RMS measurements to 7:1 crest to mean factor.

AC RMS CURRENT        ---- Accuracy since last Cal------
Range:                    24hr         90 day,      1 year
0.1-1A                    0.1%,         0.2%,        0.3%
Shunts: as DC
True RMS measurements to 3:1 crest to mean factor.

Other features:
 AC+DC True RMS option for Volts & Current as AC ranges.
 Local or seperate screen guard system.
 IEEE interface for automatic readings/logging.
 Go/fail % testing.
 Reading accuracy calculation.
 Direct entry number keyboard.

 Pre use calibrated self check.
 Security key locked calibration, easy press button cal features.
