Product Description

The newly released MS8218 is an auto-range 50,000 count true RMS digital multimeter with high accuracy and resolution. With its 24-bit A/D converter and single-chip micro-processer, it can measure AC/DC current and voltage up to 1000 volts and 10 amps and give you true RMS readings even if it's a mixed AC/DC signal. You can also use it to measure large resistor (upto 50MOhms) and capacitors (upto 5 mF). This meter comes with a RS232C port and compatible software, so you can easily hook it up with a computer to display, record and plot your measurement on your computer. Its graphic software has a unique dynamic scale so even a tiny variation will be reflected on the computer.

AC/DC V/A + Resistance + Capacitance + Frequency (linear & logic)
True RMA reading on AC & AC+DC
All-range fuse protected
Software & necessary accessories are include
