  • Enhanced Display: Transitioning from a 2.4“ color LCD to a 3.5”-TFT-LCD color display, providing clearer, more detailed visuals in almost all environmental conditions.
  • Expanded Memory: The leap from 256 MB to 8 GB eMMC-Flash-Memory allows for over 1 million measurements, facilitating extensive data collection and analysis.
  • Advanced Connectivity: With the new USB type C port, the existing USB functions have also been extended so that direct data transfer from the alphaDUR mini II to the PC is now possible. This significantly increases the flexibility of data management.
  • Extended Battery Life: A new 6800 mAh Li-ion battery extends the operating time to approximately 10 hours, ensuring reliability over longer inspection periods.
  • Upcoming Enhancements: Post-launch updates will equip the alphaDUR mini II with additional capabilities, such as Bluetooth 5.0, BLE technology.
