Fluke Calibration 8588A Reference Multimeter and 8558A 8.5-Digit Multimeter

Fluke Calibration has introduced two long-scale precision digital multimeters, both of which offer long-term stability over a wide measurement range.

The 8588A Reference Multimeter, designed for calibration standards laboratories, is said to hold the industry’s best one-year DC voltage accuracy and produces a stable 8.5-digit reading in one second. With more than 12 functions, the digitising multimeter helps consolidate a lab’s cost of test into a single measurement instrument.

The 8558A 8.5-Digit Multimeter digitises five million readings per second, for high-resolution system automation in calibration labs and manufacturing test environments. It further supports a minimum of 100,000 readings per second at 4.5 digits across GPIB, USBTMC or Ethernet, and a 15 million reading data storage in the instrument memory, allowing full flexibility to make timely and correction decisions for system throughput and efficiency.

The instruments offer a straightforward, intuitive user interface and colour display with an easy-to-access configuration menu that makes it easy to train users. A graphical display allows easy visualisation of trends, histograms, complex waveforms and statistics. Repeatable system-specific tasks can be automated quickly and easily. Fast, high-resolution data capture delivers the quantity and quality of information needed for increased productivity and fast access to results and answers.

The products work with Fluke Calibration MET/CAL Calibration Software, in 8508A emulation mode, allowing increased throughput while ensuring calibrations are performed consistently every time. This powerful software documents calibration procedures, processes and results for ease in complying with ISO 17025 and similar quality standards.
