New Bench Multimeter Simplifies Troubleshooting

Fluke Europe B.V. (The Netherlands) announces the new Fluke 8808A bench multimeter, featuring 5,5 digit resolution, multi measurement capability, and a dual display that enables users to measure two different but related parameters simultaneously, simplifying test and troubleshooting.
The Fluke 8808A has six dedicated setup buttons on the front panel that function as `pre-sets` similar to those on a car radio, making it fast and easy for production operators to quickly follow a test procedure without having to push multiple buttons. A Hi/Lo Limit Compare mode with pass/fail indicators can help take the guesswork out of testing and help eliminate production mistakes.
Setup buttons with pass/fail test mode provide measurement consistency that can improve quality and efficiency in manufacturing test applications.
With measurement functions including volts, ohms, amps and frequency, the Fluke 8808A also provides the performance and flexibility required from a bench meter in R&D, development and service applications.
The Fluke 8808A has basic volts dc accuracy of 0.01 percent, and is the only meter in its class that features dedicated dc low current leakage measurement capability. It uses a high impedance input measurement circuit to take sensitive low current measurements of less than 2000 uA with a resolution of up to 100 nA, without loading the circuit under test. The 2 x 4 ohms function of the Fluke 8808A uses patented split terminal jacks that allow users to perform 4-wire measurements using only two leads instead of four. The optional 2 x 4 wire test leads make precise 4-wire low ohms measurements possible on miniature surface mount components. Fluke has a broad range of multimeters consisting of both bench and handheld DMMs. The new Fluke 8808A extends the range of Fluke bench multimeters which consists of the 8845A and 8846A launches last year and the recently introduced Fluke 280 series (287/289) of logging DMMs.
