Digital Multimeters
5½ & 6½ Digit
5490C Series
The 5490C Series 5½ and 6½-digit bench
multimeters are designed for accuracy,
repeatability and ease-of-use. A wide
measurement range with speeds up to 1000
readings per second, and a basic DCV accuracy
up to 35 ppm deliver stable measurement results
quickly and accurately. These general purpose
meters are well suited for demanding
engineering, production and service applications.
The multimeters feature simple and intuitive
switching between the 12 measurement
functions and display modes for a variety of test
setups. Display modes include bar meter, trend
chart, and histogram which can be combined with
statistics or math functions. The dual
measurement feature enables the simultaneous
display of 2 measurements, e.g. AC voltage and
frequency. Additionally, Limit mode and Probe
hold mode allow users to conveniently verify and
compare readings.

(1) Three filters are available for low-frequency performance: 3 Hz, 20 Hz, and 200 Hz. No additional errors will occur for frequencies above these filter settings.
(2) Valid for sinewave input > 1% of range and greater than 10 µA AC.
(3) 20% overrange on all ranges except 3 A range which can only test 5% overrange.
(4) 10 A range available on front panel only.
