Accuracy, flexibility and ease of use come standard
From a single 20 channel Hydra™ Series III
portable data logger to a 2,000+ channel precision temperature measurement 2680A data
acquisition system, Fluke data acquisition products share several unique advantages.
• Built-in signal conditioning saves time and
money. Fluke’s data acquisition
products were the first to integrate signal
conditioning directly into the instrument.
Assign any measurement function— thermo-
couple, RTD, volts, frequency, or ohms—to
any or all channels.
• Removable universal input module
connects any signal. Our unique, patented
Universal Input Module allows you to connect
and measure virtually any electrical or phys-
ical parameter. Thermocouple reference junc-
tion compensation occurs automatically by
sensing the temperature of the input module’s
isothermal block. Virtually any combination of
sensor or signal lines may be connected to the
input module, which is plugged into the back
of the data acquisition unit. You can pre-wire
extra input modules at each test site and move
your data acquisition units from one location to
another.
• Rugged design for reliable performance.
Fluke data acquisition products are designed
to stand up to rugged industrial environ-
ments with some models operating from -20°C
to 60°C. A sturdy metal chassis effectively
shields against electromagnetic interference so
you can maintain high measurement accuracy
on low-level signals regardless of surrounding
noise. They are tested to stringent shock and
vibration standards and to withstand surges of
up to 1500 V input on most models. All units
conform to IEC, CSA, and CE standards.
• Isolated circuitry for top accuracy. Fluke
analog measurement circuitry is fully isolated
channel to channel, input to output, and input
to ground, supporting direct measurement of
voltages up to 300 V ac rms and are certified
to international Category II electrical safety
standards
• Scan triggers, including interval, push button,
external, and alarm triggers, scan all defined
channels.
• Mx+B scaling is available on each channel.
• Math Channels. All Fluke data acquisition
products have available math channels to allow
real-time calculations to your data file based on
results of other channel readings.
• Two alarms can be set for each channel.
• Real-time clock offers precise time stamping
of data.
• Closed-case calibration delivers reliability
and traceability.

Industrial grade, precision data acquisition
DC measurement accuracy of
0.0024%, basic 0.5 °C thermocouple accuracy, full-color display,
easy-to-use menu system and
international Category II safety
ratings put the 2638A in a category
of its own as a truly industrial
grade, precision data acquisition
system. The dedicated 6.5 digit
digital multimeter (DMM) mode
adds additional utility and value.
The 2638A is expandable from
22 to 66 channels of differential
analog inputs. A flexible, 22-channel
Universal Input Connector lets you
connect and disconnect any type of
input to any channel, quickly and
easily. Selectable inputs include dc
voltage, ac voltage, resistance, thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, frequency
and dc and ac current. You can also
use the 2638A with FlukeDAQ software and other Fluke data loggers
to create a flexible, customized data
acquisition system with an almost
unlimited number of channels.
4
Universal input connector
The 2638A incorporates the Fluke
Universal Input Connector to bring
more accuracy to thermocouple
measurements than most other instruments in its class. The Universal Input
Connector supports 14 worldwide
thermocouple types. Temperaturefocused menu selections make
the 2638A especially suitable for
temperature validation applications. If
you need to “zero” a large number of
thermocouples to a known reference
temperature before starting a temperature profiling or validation test, the
2638A will normalize all readings to
your reference channel at the push
of a button and store the offsets
for reference in a supporting data
file. If you are conducting chamber
tests, heat treating tests under ASM
guidelines, or validating temperature
devices under 21 CFR regulations,
Hydra Series III makes it that much
easier to comply.
The Universal Input Connector
plugs into any open slot in the
2638A that contains a relay card.
The Universal Input Connector has
22 input channels (20 universal
inputs and 2 dedicated, low-burden
input current channels). Each input
connector contains a CJC (cold junction compensation) device, which is
calibrated at the factory. The calibration date and input connector serial
number are programmed into the
input connector and are read by the
2638A when installed. This information is saved in the test setup data
file, which is available for review
with any associated scan data from a
test setup. This feature is a valuable
form of traceability if you are working
in a regulated industry.
Wiring a test or system setup for
20 to 60 or more channels can be
time consuming. With the inexpensive
plug-in Universal Input Connector, you
can wire your system once, quickly
disconnect the connector from your
Hydra, and then reconnect the Hydra
to another input connector for use in a
different area.
Other data loggers require you
to wire your inputs directly to an
expensive “plug-in” active component
signal conditioning module. If you
need your instrument at another location for another test, you must remove
your wiring or use another expensive
plug-in signal conditioning module.
With Hydra Series III, all your signal
conditioning is inside the mainframe,
not in your input connector.
Using multiple low-cost Universal
Input Connectors gives you the flexibility to leave your input connector
at the test site, completely wired, and
ready to use. When you need data from
that site, simply “plug in” and load your
saved setup file. It’s that simple!
Expandable channel
capacity
Each 2638A has three slots in the
rear panel. Each slot can hold a relay
card and a 22-channel Universal Input
Connector. Three models are available,
from 22 channels to 66 channels per
mainframe. Select a base model with
22 channels and add 22-channel
expansion kits when needed. The low
cost per channel makes a 2638A a
good value for any budget.

DMM mode adds
functionality and value
The Hydra Series III is based on a
6.5 digit (22-bit) precision digital
multimeter measurement engine with
exceptional measurement quality and
resolution—so when you are not using
your Hydra to collect multi-channel
data, you can use it as a digital
multimeter. Front-panel “DMM-style”
input jacks and dedicated DMM menu
selections enable you to measure dc
voltage, dc resistance, ac voltage,
ac resistance, ohms, frequency,
and temperature (thermocouples,
RTDs and thermistors). Record DMM
measurements to a separate DMM
data file for later viewing. The 2638A
also displays measurement statistics
and graphs measurements right on
the main display.

The versatile NetDAQ system offers
flexible options for data distribution.
• Configure a dedicated system.
Simply connect your NetDAQ unit
to your desktop or notebook PC
for quick, easy data collection.
• Add NetDAQ
high-speed network. Adding
NetDAQ units directly to your
existing network saves the time
and expense of setting up large
dedicated networks and enables
you to implement distributed

multiple-user viewing. This
prevents your data acquisition
application from being hampered
by network operations and protects
it from network failure.
Q

The NetDAQ system supports
3,000 rps from multiple instruments ensuring high throughput
for all units. Plus on-board
memory provides a data buffer
in case network traffic prevents
timely delivery of time-stamped

®
uick results you can rely on.
• Computed channels save time.
In addition to its 20 analog input
channels, each NetDAQ unit
supports 10 computed channels.
The computed channels perform
custom calculations using addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, log, natural log, exponent, square root, absolute value,
and integer functions. Math channels feature the same alarm capability as analog channels which
saves having to perform separate
post calculations on channel
data. It is also especially useful
for monitoring and alarming on
real-time calculated values such
as power, flow, volumes, pressure,
and more.

Trend Link for Fluke software
Gain advanced trending
capabilities
Optional Trend Link for Fluke software is used in conjunction with
FlukeDAQ application software.
Trend Link makes it easy to:
• Review real-time data in the
context of historical data for
performance comparisons
• Automatically view statistics on
any channel and compare multiple
channels from different time
periods
• Zoom in on a particular time span
for closer analysis
V
iew multiple windows—each
•
featuring different process parameters—in real time
• Calculate basic statistics such as
mean and standard deviation for
any trend
C
•
reate X-bar R charts and X-Y
scatter diagrams for statistical
analysis
• Import data directly into spreadsheet programs from trend plots
Quickly find specific data
With Trend Link you can quickly
scroll through volumes of historical
and real-time data looking for key
events or changes in the process.
The dead-banding feature lets you
limit recording to only those readings
outside of the range of your normal
process limits, saving you valuable
disk space. Trend Link time stamps
data with millisecond resolution so
you can find just the data you’re
looking for. Then you can compare
multiple traces on the same screen or
zoom in on a particular point in time.
Document your results
Cut and paste the data and trend
plots you generate with Trend Link
software into spreadsheet and word
processing programs to generate
presentation-quality reports. Or
print plots directly for hard copy
documentation.

Fluke measurement
specification
philosophy
The accuracy specifications for the
Fluke 2680 Series, 2638A Hydra
Series III, and NetDAQ Series instruments are calculated conservatively
so that they include three standard
deviations from the nominal value—
this is referred to as 3-Sigma. More
than 99.7 % of the instruments
produced will perform within the
error limits. Rigorous screening and
testing procedures catch and correct
the three out of 1,000 instruments
which could have fallen outside
their published specifications.
Many other products use a “rootsum-square” scheme, or only specify
the error band within one standard
deviation (1-Sigma) of nominal. This
method produces a specification that
appears to be more accurate, but
the resulting “typical” specifications
correctly characterize only ~66 %
of the instruments produced. This
method is kind of like knowing how
accurate “most of the instruments”
will be. The 3-Sigma specifications
for the 2680 Series, Hydra, and
NetDAQ tell you how accurate ALL
of the instruments will be. Note:
Listed specifications are summary
in nature. Accuracies listed are most
favorable within the stated range.
