HP 34401A multimeter 

• Measure up to 1000 volts with 6 1/2 digits resolution
• dc accuracy of 0.0015%
• ac accuracy of 0.06%
• 3Hz to 300kHz ac bandwidth
• 1000 readings/sec. direct to HP-IB

The HP 34401A multimeter gives you the performance you need for fast, accurate bench and systems testing. The HP 34401A provides a combination of resolution, accuracy and speed that rivals DMMs costing many times more.

A 6 1/2-digit display, 0.0015% Basic 24-hr dcV accuracy and 1,000 readings/sec direct to HP-IB assure you of results that are accurate, fast, and repeatable.

Functions commonly associated with pure bench operation, like continuity and diode test, are built in. A Null feature allows you to remove lead resistance or other fixed offsets in your measurements.

Other capabilities like min/max/avg readouts and direct dB and dBm measurements make checkout with your DMM faster and easier.

When you want to store readings for future reference, the HP 34401A gives you the ability to store up to 512 readings in internal memory.

For troubleshooting, a reading hold feature lets you concentrate on placing your test leads without having to constantly glance at the display.

For systems use, the HP 34401A gives you faster bus throughput than any other DMM in its class.

The HP 34401A can send up to 1,000 readings/sec directly across HP-IB in user-friendly ASCII format.

You also get both HP-IB and RS-232 interfaces as standard features.

Voltmeter Complete and External Trigger signals are provided so you can synchronize to other instruments in your test system.

In addition, a TTL output indicates Pass/Fail results when limit testing is used.

To ensure both forward and backward compatibility, the HP 34401A includes three command languages (SCPI,

HP 3478A and Fluke 8840A /42A), so you don’t have to rewrite your existing test software. An optional rack mount kit is available.

To save you time and trouble, all major functions, like selecting the function, range and number of digits, can be accessed on the front panel with one push of a button.

Advanced features are available using menu functions that let you optimize the HP 34401A for your applications.

To further increase your productivity, the HP 34401A can be used in conjunction with HP 34812A BenchLink Meter software. The Windows-based program lets you configure and initiate measurements from your computer, and transfer results from your test instrument to your PC.

It even enables direct temperature measurements with the HP 34401A and an RTD or thermistor probe.

HP BenchLink Meter also lets you create graphs, charts and histograms to help you evaluate results.
