Models 34465A DMM (6½ digit) and 34470A DMM (7½ digit) are Truevolt series digital multimeters. Can visualize measurement data, get actionable information, and document results. Can provide trend and histogram charts. Offer three acquisition modes: continuous running for typical measurements, data logging for trend analysis, and digitizing for capturing transients. The 7-½ digit 34470A DMM reportedly provides greater resolution and accuracy. Both offer deeper memory for data storage than previous generation DMMs. Have the ability to measure low current, 1µA range with pA resolution, for measurements on very low power devices. Offer auto calibration. Have digital direct sampling techniques to make AC rms measurements.

G3 with Tau enables full system test coverage of all types of Android devices. Comes with Profilence Tau to speed time-to-market and cut total costs by testing the entire device in a reliable and repeatable environment. inspects in every detail the operating system and all physical interfaces with real-life use-cases. Is said to be adaptable from one device type to another form-factor and one test range to the next one on line. Designed for test runs lasting over 100 hr. and heavy reuse of test cases on different devices. Provides deep analysis of every single test case, helping to find the root cause faster. Automatically stores all results, logs, video streams, crash dumps and profiling data to a cloud, securing easy data accessibility. Mimics real-world behavior by permitting interruptions during testing.
