Fluke 8588A Reference Multimeter and 8558A 8.5-Digit Multimeter Now Available
Featuring exceptional linearity, low noise, and stability
The 8588A and 8558A are the ideal lab multimeters, streamlining the measurement process while eliminating misunderstandings, with an easy-to-access user interface in eight languages. The intuitive graphic display shows trends, histograms, complex waveforms, and statistics so you can perform metrology tasks quickly.
Products feature: • 3.5 μV/V (99%), one-year relative accuracy, DC voltage, no internal self-calibration or auto adjustments • 0.65 μV/V (99%), 24-hour stability, DC voltage • 9 μΩ/Ω (99%), one-year, resistance • 2.02x full scale, stretches lower noise floor to higher signal levels to maximize higher accuracies • 0 ns to 100 s aperture setting allows the industry’s widest flexibility to control data capture window
The 8588A and 8558A feature a five mega-sample digitizing rate with up to 20 MHz analog bandwidth, the first and only instruments on the market that can characterize extremely low-level transient signals at 18-bit resolution. This capability makes it easier to debug designs, uncover anomalies, and perfect your devices under test. • Voltage sensitivity to hundreds of nV and current sensitivity to hundreds of pA allow you to uncover ultralow-level transient signals. • Up to 20 MHz bandwidth for voltage and 4 MHz for current retains high bandwidth content of the signal measured. • 18-bit SAR analog-to-digital converter achieves five mega-samples per second for capturing complex, fast waveforms. • 15 million readings memory allows large amount of data storage, eliminating the immediate need to transfer data to a PC.

However, someone has to pay for this content. And that’s where advertising comes in. Most people consider ads a nuisance, but they do serve a useful function besides allowing media companies to stay afloat. They keep you aware of new products and services relevant to your industry. All ads in Quality Digest apply directly to products and services that most of our readers need. You won’t see automobile or health supplement ads.
Both 8588A and 8558A work with Fluke Calibration MET/CAL calibration software. With native MET/CAL support or using 8508A emulation mode, you can increase throughput up to four times that of traditional manual and multiproduct methods while ensuring calibrations are performed consistently every time. This powerful software documents calibration procedures and processes, for ease in complying with ISO 17025 and similar quality standards.
