• Establishes a new benchmark in Analog performance – Resolution, accuracy and measurement range.
• Adds innovative features and functions that will extend the utility of a bench DMM in ATE, R&D and service applications

The Fluke 8845A and 8846A 6.5 digit precision multimeters have the precision and versatility to handle your most demanding measurements, on the bench or in a system. These meters are both high performance and feature rich, yet also remarkably easy to use. These digital multimeters perform the functions you would expect to see in a multifunction DMM, including measuring volts, ohms, and amps. Basic V dc accuracy of up to 0.0024%, 10 A current range, and a wide ohms range gives you an unbeatable combination of measurement capability. You can also use the 8845A and 8846A to measure temperature, capacitance, period, and frequency - the functions of a counter, capacitance meter and thermometer are built in for unparalleled versatility. Extend the meter's utility even more with their graphical display modes, including TrendplotTM paperless recorder mode, statistics and histograms - features you won't find on other multimeters. Of course, these meters are also durable and dependable, features you expect from any Fluke meter. This unique combination of features and performance makes the 8845A and 8846A an unbeatable value for a wide variety of applications, including manufacturing test, research and development, and service.

Easy to integrate into your automated test system The 8845A and 8846A meters can be incorperated easily into your automated test system. These meters emulate several lagacy bench DMMs, allowing them to be substituted easily into existing systems. SCPI compatibility and drivers allow them to work with most available application and development languages. Front and rear inputs let you easily make connections where it's most convenient, whether the meter is rack-mounted or used on a bench. Multiple interfaces provide compatibility to existing and new standards. Reading rates are greaters than 1000 readings per second giving you the throughput you need for systems applications.

Versatile solutions for advanced test applications These meters let you take test and troubleshooting to a new level. Set up the 8845A or 8846A to take measurements over a period of time and display them graphically on the DMM's screen, for real time trending analysis. Graphical trending analysis can highlight drift and signal fluctuations, as well as intermittent errors that can't be seen on a numerical display. Using graphical display, the 8845A and 8846A can simultaneously display a histogram and multiple statistical values such as mean, min, max, and standard deviation calulated using real time measurements. Analysing a measured value distribution over time can highlight potential reoccuring out-of-tolerance problems. The ability to make dual simultaneous measurements and display them in graphic or numeric format adds new tools to the test system and design engineer's toolbox of tricks for solving or validating analog circuits. Save measurement results to USB memory and transfer the data to a PV for detailed analysis. Or use the Ethernet connection to transport data over a network. Extended current and ohms ranges and additional capabilities such as temerature and capacitance increase the variety of measurements you can make and tests you can perform with a single instrument.

Perfect for benchtop research and development Research and development applications demand measurement performance and flexibility. The 8845A and 8846A meet these needs, with excellent performance in all measurement functions. It's easy to use and adapts easily to almost any benchtop application.

Dual display and versatile graphical capabilities The 8845A/8846A feature a unique dual display that allows you to measure two different parameters of the same signal from one test connection. To reveal signal quality issues like drift, intermitants and stability, view data as a real time trend plot or histogram, with the unique analyze mode. You won't find graphical display capabilities like these on any other instrument in this class.

Perform 4-wire measurements with only two leads Patented split terminal jacks for the 2 x 4 ohms function allow you to perform 4-wire measurements using only two leads instead of four. A special test lead accessory is available to enable you to establish the connection. You get excellent resolution and accuracy plus the convenience and ease of using a single pair of leads.

Multiple connectors give you maximum flexibility Choose from several interfaces to connect the 8845A/8846A to a personal computer: serial, IEEE-488, and Ethernet come standard on both modles. a USB device port is included on the 8846A meter for convenient data transfer to and from a PC via a portable USB storage device.

FlukeView Software and drivers add PC power and application compatibility FlukeView Forms increases the power of your Fluke tool by enabling you to document, store and analyze individual readings or series of measurements, then convert them into professional-looking documents. Log live readings while connected to a PC or store, display and share readings in interactive forms, graphs and tables. Create customized, professional looking documents that can be printed or emailed. FlukeView Forms software includes easy-to-use standard forms. Instrument programming drivers, DLL files and support information are included to get your test system up and running as quickly as possible.

FlukeView Forms Basic The Fluke 8845A/8846A ship with a free copy of FlukeView Basic. Transfer data points from your meter to your PC and use the two standard, non-customizable forms to display your readings in table or graphical form. For a larger array of forms or to use FlukeView Forms Designer to customize your forms, upgrade to FlukeView Forms version 3.0 with FVF-UG.

Fluke 45 and Agilent 34401A emulation The 8845A/8846A emulate operation and programming commands of the Fluke 45 and Agilent 34401. Emulation shortens the learning curve and makes it easy to fit the 8845A or 8846A into existing systems.

Fluke support completes the equation of value Like all Fluke products, the 8845A/8846A are built to provide years of dependable serive. However, if you do need calibration or repairs, you can turn to our global network of direct and representative service centers strategically located around the world. Each offers a full range of support services.
