The ASC-400 is a user friendly and innovative multifunction calibrator (process calibrator) that provides the functionality and accuracy you expect from a laboratory calibration system, but is compact enough to fit into the tool box and be operated with one hand for easy calibration.
Read and source RTD, TC, Current, Voltage, Frequency and Resistance on the large color display with an extremely user friendly interface.
