Introduction; Manual Set - Fluke 8808A User Manual

Introduction

The Fluke 8808A Digital Multimeter (hereafter referred to as the Meter) is a 5-1/2 digit
dual-display multimeter designed for bench-top, field service, and system applications.
The multiple measurement functions, plus the RS-232 remote interface, make the Meter
an ideal candidate for precision manual measurements and use in automated systems. For
portability, the Meter includes a carrying handle that also serves as a bail for bench-top
operation.
Some features provided by the Meter are:
A dual vacuum fluorescent display that allows two properties of an input signal to be
displayed at the same time (e.g., ac voltage in one display and frequency in the other)
5-1/2 digit resolution
True-rms ac
2, 4 wire resistance or patented 2x4 wire resistance measurement technique
200 mV to 1000 Vdc range with 1 V sensitivity
200 mV to 750 Vac rms with 1 V sensitivity
200 to 100 M with 1 m sensitivity
200 A to 10 Adc with 1 nA sensitivity
20 mA to 10 Aac with 100 nA sensitivity
Frequency measurements from 20 Hz to 1 MHz
Continuity and diode test
Measurement rates of 2.5, 20 and 100 samples/second (slow, medium and fast,
respectively)
Front-panel setup key for single key access to saved setups
A compare mode to determine if a measurement is within defined limits
Remote operation via the RS-232 interface
Closed-case calibration (no internal calibration adjustments)
