3. Product Positioning The 5730A is positioned in terms of price and performance above existing Fluke Calibration and competitor Multifunction Calibrators. It is capable of calibrating digital multimeters up to 8.5 digits. It sources DC/AC voltage, DC/AC current, and resistance at better accuracy specifications than the Fluke Calibration 5720A Multifunction Calibrator, which is widely regarded as the most accurate Multifunction Calibrator in the world.
All of these advances come together in the 5730A to save you time and money while leveraging your existing procedure and programs through emulation of the industry standard 5700A and 5720A.
DC/LF calibrations. Generally, the largest workload is 6.5 digit DMMs, although DMMs up to 8.5 digits can be calibrated with additional standards. The 5730A offers the best accuracy specifications of any Multifunction Calibrator, making it a necessary instrument for individuals who require the very best performance in DCLF calibration.
5730A Sales and Demo Guide 8. Typical Applications The following provides some typical and non-typical applications where the 5730A can be utilized. Calibration of long-scale DMMs (typical units) o Fluke 8508A, 8845A, 8846A, 8842A, 8840A o Tektronix DMM4040, DMM4050 o Agilent 3458A, 34401A, 34410A, 34411A...

When connected to the 52120A or 5725A, the output screen on the 5730A displays the current level output from the amplifier (i.e. you can program in 120 A into 5730A and the output will go to 120 A). The 52120A-specific cable connecting the amplifier to the calibrator allows for two way, or “closed loop,”...
The 30 MHz Wideband option can be purchased to expand the AC Frequency and RF calibration capability of the 5730A. The Wideband option increases the addressable workload of the calibrator. Most customers interested in the Wideband option are the Military, Prime Contractors who work with Military systems, and large 3 Party Calibration labs that own Military contracts.
