Case Study: Large Digital Multimeters Servicer Provider achieves clearer instrument labeling and faster debugging with Keysight's Truevolt 34461A DMM

Simple Digital Multimeter Enhancements Make a Big Difference to Silicon Designers

Large Digital Multimeters Servicer Provider faced ongoing confusion when engineers monitored multiple signals with a stack of digital multimeters—technicians were sticking adhesive notes to each DMM to track which instrument measured which voltage or current. Keysight introduced its Truevolt 34461A digital multimeter to the team, offering a modern interface and upgraded features compared with their legacy 34401A units.

Keysight’s solution—on‑screen labels, selectable color schemes, a large LCD readable across the room, and usability aids (hold-for-help and built‑in topics)—removed the need for adhesive notes, made it faster to understand setups, and improved collaboration when explaining tests. The 34461A’s clearer display and 10 A range directly reduced signal-misidentification and setup time, simplifying troubleshooting and characterization for the engineering team.
