It allows operators to view test parameters more clearly while setting up tests, running tests or viewing test results.
The 3160 includes both an offset function and Kelvin test leads allowing it to be flexible enough to work with any type of test fixture setup. With its increased ground bond test current and user selectable output voltage frequencies of 50 or 60 hertz, the 3160 is a perfect instrument not only for the US market but also the global market. Additionally, the 3160 has storage of up to 10 different test programs with 3 steps per memory. This makes it possible to store all the various test parameters required and recall them for each of the different products that need to be tested. These memories are also linkable to run multi-step tests. The 3160 also includes advanced features that improve safety and reliability of the tests performed.
