digits resolution
• 0.0015% basic dcV accuracy
(24 hour)
• 0.06% basic acV accuracy (1 year)
• 3 Hz to 300 kHz ac bandwidth
• 1000 readings/s direct to GPIB
Superior Performance
The Agilent Technologies 34401A multime-
ter gives you the performance you need for
fast, accurate bench and system testing.
The 34401A provides a combination of res-
olution, accuracy and speed that rivals
DMMs costing many times more. 6 1 / 2 dig-
its of resolution, 0.0015% basic 24-hr dcV
accuracy and 1,000 readings/s direct to
GPIB assure you of results that are accu-
rate, fast, and repeatable.
Use It on Your Benchtop
The 34401A was designed with your bench
needs in mind. Functions commonly associ-
ated 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 read-
outs 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/s directly across GPIB in
user-friendly ASCII format.
You also get both GPIB and RS-232 inter-
faces as standard features. Voltmeter
Complete and External Trigger signals are
provided so you can synchronize to other
instruments in your test system. In addition,
a TTL output indicates Pass/Fail results
when limit testing is used.
To ensure both forward and backward com-
patibility, the 34401A includes three com-
mand languages (SCPI, Agilent 3478A and
Fluke8840A/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, inter-
pret, 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. Program-mers can
use ActiveX components to control the
DMM using SCPI commands. To find out
