The 8588A and the 8558A 8.5-Digit multimeters have been introduced by Fluke Calibration.

Designed for calibration standards laboratories, the 8588A Reference Multimeter holds a one-year DC voltage accuracy and pushes the speed envelope by producing a stable 8.5 digits reading in one second.

With more than 12 functions, the 8588A helps consolidate a lab’s cost of testing 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.

These instruments offer a straightforward, intuitive user interface and colour display with an easy-to-access configuration menu that makes it easy to train new users. A graphical display allows easy visualisation of trends, histograms, complex waveforms and statistics. Repeatable system-specific tasks can be automated quickly and easily.

The 8588A and 8558A work with Fluke Calibration MET/CAL calibration software, in 8508A emulation mode, allowing increased throughput while ensuring calibrations are performed consistently every time. The software documents calibration procedures, processes and results for ease in complying with ISO 17025 and similar quality standards.
