The size comparison below shows the DM858 and its predecessor, the DM3058.

The DM858 features a 7 inch color touch screen (1024x600) with dual display measurement capability. This saves users from switching between measurements, making it easier to observe and analyze data. Its graphical display visualizes data in a trend plot, histogram or bar chart.

The DM858 supports a broad range of measurement functions including AC/DC voltage and current, 2 and 4 wire resistance, frequency, period, continuity, diode, capacitance, as well as a several sensor measurements.

The DM858 isn’t only small and lightweight, it can also be powered through a USB-C interface. Users can connect the instrument to a portable battery for testing needs in the field (battery not included).

The DM858 has standard USB and LAN interfaces for flexible PC connectivity and supports remote control via Web Control.
