6½ Digit PXI Digital Multimeters
(M9181A, M9182A, M9183A)
Overview
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9181A PXI digital multimeter provides the most popular
measurement functions, including DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2- and 4-wire resistance, at an affordable price.
Keysight’s M9182A and M9183A 6½ digit high performance PXI digital multimeters (DMMs) offer fast
throughput, flexible measurements, and trustworthy results. The M9182A provides ten built-in
measurement types with all the accuracy and stability you would expect from 6½ digit DMM. The
M9183A provides the same capabilities as the M9182A, with market-leading measurement speed of up
to 15,000 readings per second, additional ranges, and a DC source.
Key Features
• 6½ digit resolution
• High throughput: up to 15,000 rdgs/sec, 66 μs single reading interval
• DCV basic one year accuracy: up to 40 ppm
• DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2- and 4-wire resistance measurements
• Various DMM measurement types and DC source function on higher-end
models

Easy Setup… Test… and Maintenance
Hardware Platform
Compliance
The M9181A, M9182A and M9183A 6½ digit DMMs are PXI compliant, using either a cPCI (J1) or PXI-1
(J1) slot. Additionally, the M9182A and M9183A are also compatible with the PXIe Hybrid slot. Designed
to benefit from fast data interfaces, these PXI DMMs can be integrated with other test and automation
modules in a PXI, Compact PCI, or Hybrid chassis. The PXI format offers high performance in a small,
rugged package. It is an ideal deployment platform for many automated test systems. A wide array of
complementary PXI products is currently available. Products from Keysight include switches,
multiplexers, digitizers, waveform generators, and local oscillators.
Software Platform
IO Libraries Suite
Keysight IO Libraries Suite offers fast and easy instrument connections. IO Libraries Suite 16.1 supports
PXI, helping you display all of the modules in your system, view information about installed software and
allows you to more easily find the right driver and start module soft front panels directly with Keysight
Connection Expert.
National Instruments IO libraries are also supported and may be used along with Keysight IO libraries.
Drivers
Keysight’s digital multimeters come complete with software drivers for Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32
and 64 bit). These software drivers work in the most popular test and measurement development
environments including LabVIEW, Visual Studio (C, C++, C#, Visual Basic), MATLAB and VEE.
Easy Software Integration
Application code examples are included for LabVIEW, Visual Basic, C/C++, C#, and MATLAB –
demonstrating DMM set up and basic functionality. These application code examples can be used to help
you integrate the DMM module into your measurement system.
Soft Front Panel
The soft front panel provides easy to use instrument control. The graphical user interface guides
developers through module setup so users can quickly configure the DMM.
One notable feature of the soft front panel is the Driver Call Log which allows the user to see the driver
calls for each button pushed. The user can then incorporate the driver calls into their application program
– enabling fast and easy program development.
Calibration
Each M9181A, M9182A and M9183A DMM is factory calibrated and shipped with an ISO-9002, NIST-
traceable calibration certificate.
Calibration is required once per year. A documented calibration process allows you to do in-rack
calibration using standard calibration sources. Alternatively, Keysight and 3rd party calibration labs offer
calibration services for the PXI DMMs.
