Product Overview
Laptops with a PCMCIA slot can carry a 5-1/2 digit digital multimeter in this Type II PC Card. It reads DC and AC voltage from 20 mV to 250 V, resistance from 200 ohm to 2 Mohm plus an extended range above that, and current through an external shunt.
Key Features
- DC and AC voltage ranges: 20 mV, 200 mV, 2 V, 25 V and 250 V
- 2-wire resistance ranges: 200 ohm, 2 kohm, 20 kohm, 200 kohm and 2 Mohm, plus an extended range
- Current through an external shunt: CSM-200mA up to 200 mA, CSM-10A up to 10 A
- 250 V maximum between either input terminal and earth ground, Installation Category II
- Power draw printed on the back: 45 mA at 5 V
- Type II PC Card, 8.6 x 5.4 cm
Applications
- Logging voltages on a field service call from an older laptop with a PCMCIA slot
- Replacing a failed NI 4050 in an existing portable test kit
- Taking resistance readings on a bench where the laptop is the only screen
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit a laptop with a Type II slot?
Yes. It is a Type II PC Card on the PCMCIA bus, 8.6 x 5.4 cm.
Can it read current directly?
No. Current goes through an external shunt: the CSM-200mA for up to 200 mA, or the CSM-10A for up to 10 A.
Does it take a dedicated cable for the test probes?
Yes. The card's connector takes a P4-BJ2 cable, 0.3 m long.
Is this card sold untested, as used?
Yes. It is clean and in excellent condition, with visual inspection only. You get the card in its clear case, and take on loading drivers and checking its readings against a known source. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
A 250V MAX warning printed on something the size of a credit card says plenty about this card's ambitions. Keep your leads on the right side of that number.
