The BK Precision 5493C 6 1/2 Digit Bench Digital Multimeter is 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. This general purpose meter is well suited for demanding engineering, production and service applications. The multimeter features 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.

For remote communication, the 5493C includes standard LAN, USB (USBTMC-compliant), and RS232 interfaces. A LabVIEW driver is provided to simplify system integration and instrument control. The front panel USB host port can be used for transferring screen captures and measurement data, logged with date and time stamp, from the multimeter's internal memory to a computer.
