8808A 5.5 digit multimeter: Versatile multimeter for manufacturing, development and service applications
With 14 measurement functions, math and analysis modes, the 8845A/8846A will meet the needs of any test, research and
development, or service application.
Exceed your expectations for performance and value
The Fluke 8845A and 8846A 6.5 digit precision
CAT II 600 V 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 %, 100 uA to 10 A current ranges, and a wide ohms range from
10 Ohms to 1 GOhm give you an unbeatable combination of measurement capability.
You can also use the 8845A and 8846A to measure temperature, capacitance, period, and frequency—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
Trendplot™ paperless recorder
mode, statistics and histo- grams—Log readings to a USB
flash drive and easily transfer
them over to a PC with the 8846A USB device host
port—features you won’t find
on other multimeters.
Of course, these meters are also durable and depend-
able, features you expect from
any Fluke meter.
This unique
combination of features and
performance makes the
8845A and 8846A an unbeat- able value for a wide variety
of applications, including
manufacturing test, research and development, and service.
Handle even the most demanding measurements with high accuracy and 6.5 digit resolution.
Use thebuilt-in TrendPlot paperless chart recorder to graphically identify the extent of drift and intermittent events in analog
circuits.
View results in Histogram mode to reveal stability or noise problems in analog circuits.

A perfect fit for many applications, in a system or on the bench
Dual display and
versatile graphical
capabilities
The 8845A/8846A feature
a unique dual display that allows you to measure two
different parameters of the
same signal from one test connection. Looking at dual
interrelated parameters like
voltage and current simulta-
neously can reveal conditions
that might go unnoticed
otherwise, greatly simplifying
test and troubleshooting.
Versatile solutions
for advanced test
applications
These meters let you take
test and troubleshooting to a new level. Set up the 8845A
or 8846A to take measure-
ments over a period of time and display them graphically
on the DMM’s screen, for real
time analysis. To reveal signal
quality issues like drift, inter-
mittants and stability, view
data as a real time trend plot or histogram, with the unique
analyze mode. You won’t find
graphical display capabilities
like these on any other instrument in this class.
Graphical trending analysis can highlight drift and signal fluctuations, as well as intermittent errors that can’t be seen on a numerical display.
Using the graphical display, the 8845A and 8846A can simultaneously display a histogram and multiple statistical values such as mean, min, max and standard deviation calculated using real time measurements. Analyzing a measured values distribution over time can highlight potential reoccurring out- of-tolerance problems. The ability to make dual simultaneous measurements and display them in graphic or numeric format adds new tools to the test system and design engineer’s toolbox of tricks for solving or validating analog circuits.
Save measurement results to USB memory and transfer the data to a PC for detailed analysis. Or use the Ethernet connection to transport data over a network.
Extended current and ohms ranges and additional capabilities such as temperature and capacitance increase the variety of measurements you can make and tests you can perform with a single instrument.
Perfect for benchtop research and development
Research and development applications demand measurement performance and flexibility. The 8845A and 8846A meet these needs, with excellent performance in all measurement functions. It’s easy to use and adapts easily to almost any benchtop application.
Fluke 45 and Agilent 34401A emulation
The 8845A/8846A emulate programming commands of the Fluke 45 and Agilent 34401A. Emulation shortens the learning curve and makes it easy
to fit the 8845A or 8846A into existing test systems.
