With IGM™ (Infrared Guided Measurement) and MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging), you can safely identify where hazards might be before contact is ever made. The powerful multimeter can capture and store up to 30,000 images and 100 log files, with the ability to record thermal and visual video clips. Stream live data in real time from the DM286 to your mobile device. Use the METERLiNK® app to quickly and efficiently capture readings, images, and videos for analysis, trending, and sharing.
