Description
The Fluke 8508A features 8.5 digit resolution, exceptional
linearity, and extremely low noise and stability, producing
superior accuracy specifications as low as 3 ppm over one
year. But measurements need to be repeatable, and the 8508A
delivers that as well, with 24-hour stability as low as 0.5
ppm and a 20-minute stability of 0.16 ppm. This stability is
maintained over a wide operating temperature range and
achieved without requiring routine auto-cal or
self-calibration, which can compromise measurement
traceability and history.

Functional and Versatile
The Fluke 8508A lets you handle a wide range of applications
and achieve your measurement requirements with a single
instrument. In addition to AC and DC voltage, AC and DC
current, resistance and frequency, the 8508A also includes a
host of other features designed to increase the range of
measurements you can make. True Ohms measurement using
current reversal techniques improves the accuracy of your
resistance measurements. The PRT temperature readout extends
the 8508A’s functionality into precision temperature
metrology. The Lo Current Ohms feature reduces measurement
errors due to self-heating within the device being measured.
A dual input channel ratio feature, under GPIB control,
enables the 8508A to be used as a simple, fast, automated
transfer standard. High current measurement (up to 20 A)
extends the operational range to address your multi-product
calibrator workload. Up to 200 V compliance on resistance
ranges gives you greater scope to measure high resistances
with greater accuracy.
Easy to use
A clear control structure with Dual Paramatrix™ LCD displays
and context-sensitive menus provides an intuitive interface
that makes the 8508A easy to use. The menu structures have
been designed especially for metrology applications, so you
can focus on getting the best possible measurements without
needing to work through complex sequential or
multi-instrument setups, or having to repeatedly reference
supporting documentation. |
