Short description

Yes, you have read rightly, one measurement equipment for both systems, ATARI 8-bit and PC!

The digital voltmeter (DVM) has eight inputs with a common groundlevel.
In difference to normal multimeters you have up to 1000 measurements per second. With this speed it is possible to control switching events and low frequent signals.
The range of the inputs are +/- 20Volt with a resolution of 12bit (10mV). A high input impedance of 1M ohms charges the tested parts very low.

Hardware short description

ATARI 8-bit
The connetion to the ATARI 8bit is done by the joysickport 2. The port 1 is in standard available as a four channel output to realise switching- and regulation applications.
With the XL switching interface the number of outputs is increased to eight.
No adapter or interface is needed to connect the DVM to the ATARI. The DVM can be connected directly to the joystickport of a XL or with a joystick cable (9pole SUB-D).




PC
The operation of the digital voltmeter on a PC is possible in two ways.
The PC-adapter connects the DVM directly by the printerport to the PC.
The PC-interface connectes the DVM with the PC-printerport and has an own printerport to use the printer and the DVM at the same time. Eight additional outputs are included to realise switching- and regulation applications.
It will always be needed one part to connect the DVM to the PC, the PC-adapter or the PC-interface.



The digital voltmeter software is usable for a wide range of applications. Measurement values are shown as digtal numbers or as graphic. For switching- and regulation applications you can define switching levels. Additionaly it is possible to save the measured values to use them later.

The software is not part of the ordered hardware 'DVM', because you must select between PC and ATARI software.
