Superior performance

The Agilent Technologies 34401A

multimeter gives you the perform-

ance you need for fast, accurate

bench and system testing. The

34401A provides a combination

of resolution, accuracy and speed

that rivals DMMs costing many

times more. 6

-digits of resolution,

0.0015% basic 24-hr dcV accuracy

and 1,000 readings/sec direct to

GPIB assure you of results that are

accurate, fast, and repeatable.

Use it on your benchtop

The 34401A was designed with your

bench needs in mind. Functions

commonly associated with bench

operation, like continuity and diode

test, are built in. A Null feature

allows you to remove lead resistance

and other fixed offsets in your

measurements. Other capabilities

like min/max/avg readouts and

direct dB and dBm measurements

make checkout with the 34401A

faster and easier.

The 34401A gives you the ability to

store up to 512 readings in internal

memory. For trouble-shooting, a

reading hold feature lets you

concentrate on placing your test

leads without having to constantly

glance at the display.

Use it for systems testing

For systems use, the 34401A gives

you faster bus throughput than any

other DMM in its class. The 34401A

can send up to 1,000 readings/sec

directly across GPIB in user-friendly

ASCII format.

You also get both GPIB and RS-232

interfaces as standard features.

Voltmeter Complete and External

Trigger signals are provided so you

can synchronize to other instru-

ments 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 34401A

includes three command languages

(SCPI, Agilent 3478A and Fluke

8840A /42A), so you don’t have to

rewrite your existing test software.

An optional rack mount kit is

available.

Easy to use

Commonly accessed attributes, such

as functions, ranges, and resolution

are selected with a single button press.

Advanced features are available

using menu functions that let you

optimize the 34401A for your

applications.

The included Agilent IntuiLink

software allows you to put your

captured data to work easily, using

PC applications such as Microsoft

Excel® or Word® to analyze, interpret,

display, print, and document the

data you get from the 34401A.

You can specify the meter setup and

take a single reading or log data to

the Excel spreadsheet in specified

time intervals. Programmers can

use ActiveX components to control

the DMM using SCPI commands. To

The 34401A can also be used in

conjunction with the 34812A

BenchLink Meter software. This

Windows-based program lets you

configure and initiate measurements

from your computer, and transfer

results from your test instrument

to your PC.

3-year warranty

With your 34401A, you get full

documentation, a high-quality test

lead set, calibration certificate with

test data, and a 3-year warranty, all

for one low price.
