Fluke (UK) has introduced a test drive programme for the innovative 190 series high speed potable 'scope.
The bench Fluke 8845A and 8846A precision digital multimeters have 14 measurement functions, extending the capability of a standard DMM with wider ranges and features to easily measure temperature, capacitance, period and frequency.
The 2x4 ohms function uses patented split terminal jacks that allow users to perform four-wire measurements using only two leads instead of four.
The meters deliver best-in-class analogue performance, measuring DC volts with an accuracy of up to 0.0024 %, a voltage range of 100mV to 1000V with up to 100nV resolution, a current range of 100uA to 10A with up to 100pA resolution, and have a wide resistance measurement range from 10ohm to 1Gohm with up to 10uohm resolution.
The Fluke 8845A and 8846A feature a large, bright dual display that enables users to measure two different parameters of the same signal from one test connection and view the results in graphic or numeric format.
With graphical display modes including TrendPlot paperless chart recording, statistics and histograms, users can analyse data in real-time for efficient troubleshooting of signal quality issues such as drift, intermittent and stability.
Designed for easy integration in automated test systems, the Fluke 8845A and 8846A meters emulate several legacy bench DMMs, and feature input terminals on both the front and rear of the instrument to simplify connections.
Both meters are equipped with serial, IEEE488 and Ethernet interfaces, and provide multiple drivers to help ensure compatibility with existing or new standards.
The Fluke 8846A has a wider feature set, including higher throughput and accuracy, the ability to measure temperature and capacitance, and a USB device port allowing users to save measurement results to a USB memory drive for later analysis on a PC. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
