Overview

The Fluke 8845A8845A and 8846A8846A 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 give you an unbeatable combination of measurement capability.

You can also use the 8845A8845A and 8846A8846A to measure frequency and period. In addition, the 8846A8846A measures temperature and capacitance. The functions of a counter, capacitance meter, and thermometer are built in for unparalleled versatility. Extend the meters’ 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 8845A8845A and 8846A8846A an unbeatable value for a wide variety of applications, including manufacturing test, research and development, and service.

Dual display and versatile graphical capabilities - The 8845A8845A/8846A8846A feature a unique dual display that allows you to measure two different parameters of the same signal from one test connection.
Perform 4-wire measurement 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, USB, IEEE-488, and Ethernet come standard on both models.
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.
Fluke 45 and Agilent 34401A emulation - The 8845A8845A/8846A8846A 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 test systems.

Key Applications: manufacturing test, research and development, and service.
