Multi Station Tester

The M500-ATMS is a modified version of our standard M500-AT machine. It has 5 stations where tests can be conducted simultaneously. The colour display shows plots of all 5 tests in real time, calculated results and statistics. A printer can be connected to produce a full test report.
The machine is particularly useful for companies who are involved in volume testing. It greatly reduces test time and is extremely cost effective and space efficient when compared with using multiple machines.
There is also a CT version available that operates from the end users own PC system.
