Description

The E0303 is a digital voltmeter, made by IEMI in Bucharest and designed at the ICE research institute [1].

ICE’s laboratory for electronic instruments for measuring electrical quantities designed all the institute’s generations of oscilloscopes, voltmeters, multimeters, signal generators, frequency meters, logic analysers, RLC bridges and stabilised AC power supplies; they went into production at IEMI or in ICE’s own microproduction workshop, and equipped industrial laboratories and production lines as well as teaching and research laboratories [1]. In the 1970s and 1980s about half of the components of measuring instruments were imported; after 1980 about three quarters were Romanian [1].

It measures DC voltage [2]. IEMI’s production table lists 2,441 units made in 1971–1985 [2].

Its list price, set in 1982, was 21,000 lei [3].

Annex III.2.8 says it was built with integrated circuits and silicon semiconductor devices and measured DC voltages up to 1000 V with a resolution of up to 10 µV; its binary-coded decimal outputs (1-2-4-8 code, TTL levels) could drive a printer [4].
