Just for fun
Instrument Playground Beta
Play with our instruments, and the Vartech range we supply, right in your browser. Twist the dials, crank the handle, press the buttons and see what happens. No sign-up, nothing to install, and nothing to break.
Beta, just for fun. These are playful beta versions, for illustration only. They are not training tools and not a substitute for the real instruments, which can differ in appearance, display, button behaviour, ranges and readings. Everything is simulated. Always follow the instruction manual.
New Games for engineers Find the fault, and the 10-question quiz Six site cases to diagnose from the readings, then a quiz you can send to a colleague to beat. Insulation, earthing, clamp meters and multimeters. Take the challenge →
Beta Insulation tester + multimeter DIT-2500 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2500 V insulation tests with DAR and PI, plus a True-RMS multimeter. Run a 10-minute test in ten seconds. Play with it → Beta Digital insulation tester DIT-5000 Up to 5000 V and 200 GΩ. Watch the HV LED, the voltage collapse on a fault, and the effect of the guard lead. Play with it → Beta Hand-driven insulation tester CIE/444 Turn the crank, hold 160 rpm and watch the cross-coil pointer. Choose any of the 27 voltage and range versions. Play with it → Beta Earth resistance tester DET-2000 Plant the spikes, wire four terminals and see the fall-of-potential curve. Measure soil resistivity too. Play with it → Beta True-RMS AC clamp multimeter DCM 2250 TR Clamp a conductor up to 1000 A, beat ghost voltage with Low-Z, and find live cables with NCV. Play with it → Beta True-RMS AC/DC clamp multimeter DCM 5410 TR AC and DC current, zero the Hall offset, capture motor inrush, plus frequency, capacitance and temperature. Play with it → New Transformer oil BDV tester CIE/7000 Pour the oil, wait for the bubbles, raise the voltage at 2 kV per second and catch the spark. Wet and dirty oil fail early. Play with it → New Phase sequence indicator PSI-1 Connect the R, Y and B leads, watch the disc turn, swap two leads and see why a motor would run backwards. Play with it →
New Vartech 100 MHz digital oscilloscope SS-5100DS1B Trigger, V/div, time/div, probe compensation and the x10 probe mistake. Look at your own voice through the microphone. Play with it → New Vartech linear bench power supply Vartech 3005 B Flip between constant voltage and constant current. Save an LED, light a lamp, charge a battery, short the output. Play with it → New Vartech digital sound level meter V 6700 B Noise scenes or your own microphone, with real A-weighting, Fast and Slow response, Max hold and the 85 dB line. Play with it →
