TECHNICAL DATA 8588A Reference Multimeter 8558A 8.5-Digit Multimeter The 8588A Reference Multimeter is the world’s most stable digitizing multimeter. Designed for calibration laboratories, this long-scale high-precision reference multimeter features superior accuracy and long-term stability over a wide measurement range, with an intuitive user interface and a color display. The 8588A delivers reliable and reproducible measurements with exceptional performance suitable for primary level laboratories. With more than 12 measurement functions, including the new digitize voltage, digitize current, capacitance, RF power, and external shunts for dc and ac current, the 8588A helps you consolidate your lab’s cost of test into a single measurement instrument. Its superb analog performance is augmented by Fluke Calibration’s new high-speed system design 1 Fluke Calibration and the industry’s fastest direct digitizing capability, enabling significant throughput increase for many automated systems demanding a combination of the highest speed and best accuracy. The 8588A holds the industry’s best one-year dc voltage accuracy of 2.7 uV/V at 95 % confidence interval, or 3.5 uV /V at 99 %, and best 24-hour stability of 0.5 uV/V (95 %) or 0.65 uV/V (99 %), enabling it to outperform other long-scale reference multimeters on the market. The 8588A further pushes the speed envelope by producing a stable 8.5 digits reading in a mere one second. The 8588A platform consists of two models. The 8588A and 8558A both feature a common intuitive user interface with an easy-to-navigate menu structure for all configurations and a set of matching SCPI-compliant 8588A Reference Multimeter / 8558A 8.5-Digit Multimeter 8588A: The world’s most stable digitizing multimeter The 8588A is designed for calibration and metrology laboratories that require the highest stability for the most accurate measurements to maintain maximum confidence in traceability. 8558A: The industry’s fastest direct 5 mega-samples-per-second digitizing for system automation in labs and manufacturing test environments The 8558A offers a subset of 8588A functions and features at an extremely competitive accuracy and speed performance. commands for automated environments. In addition, both models support a minimum of 100,000 readings per second at 4.5 digits across GPIB, USB o
