Agilent HP 3458A Digital Multimeter, 8½ Digit

Agilent HP 3458A Digital Multimeter, 8½ Digit



General Description:

The Agilent 3458A Multimeter, recognized the world over as a standard in high performance DMMs, provides both speed and accuracy in the R&D lab, on the production test floor, and in the calibration lab. The Agilent 3458A is a fast, flexible, and accurate multimeter. In your system or on the bench, the Agilent 3458A saves you time and money with unprecedented test system throughput and accuracy. Select a reading rate of 100,000 readings per second for maximal test throughput. Or achieve highest levels of precision with up to 8.5 digits of measurement resolution and 0.1 part per million transfer accuracy. Add this to the Agilent 3458A´s simplicity of operation, and you have the ideal multimeter for your most demanding applications.
