New precision DMM released to market

21 February 2007 Test & Measurement

Fluke′s new 8845A and 8846A precision digital multimeters feature 6,5 digit resolution, dual display that shows data in graphic or numeric formats and multifunction measurement capability. According to local distributor for Fluke, these high-accuracy meters are designed to provide industry-leading value for bench or systems applications including manufacturing test, research and development, and service.

The Fluke 8845A and 8846A 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 2 x 4 Ω function uses patented split terminal jacks that allow users to perform 4-wire measurements using only two leads instead of four. The meters claim 'best-in-class' analog performance, measuring volts DC with an accuracy of up to 0,0024%, have a voltage range of 100 mV to 1000 V with up to 100 nV resolution, current range of 100 mA to 10 A with up to 100 pA resolution, and have a wide Ω measurement range from 10 Ω to 1 gigaΩ with up to 10 microΩ 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 realtime for efficient troubleshooting of signal quality issues such as drift, intermittants 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, IEEE-488 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 personal computer.
