1-1. Introduction
Your Fluke Model 8060A is a handheld, microcomputer-based 4½ digit
multimeter that is ideally suited for use in the field, laboratory, shop, or
home. The 8060A has all the features that have become accepted standards
for quality handheld multimeters, as well as some new features that have not
been offered before in a handheld multimeter. New features include the
following:
•
True rms measurements for ac signals up to 100 kHz.
•
Frequency measurements up to 200 kHz.
•
Voltage measurements in dBm referenced to 600
Ω
or in dB relative to
an operator-selected reference voltage.
•
Resistance measurements up to 300 M
Ω
.
•
Ability to store any input signal as an offset or relative reference value.
Other features include:
• Functions:
All standard DMM measurement functions, such as ac and dc volts and
ac and dc current, as well as resistance, conductance, continuity, and
diode test.
• Ranges:
Leading zero suppression.
Automatic polarity.
Overrange indication.
Protection from overloads and transients up to 1500V peak.
Dual-slope integration a/d conversion to ensure noise-free
measurements.
Autoranging MΩ resistance range (to 300 MΩ), as well as four fixed
resistance ranges from 200Ω to 200 kΩ.
• Operator Convenience:
4½ digit Liquid Crystal Display.
Software-controlled self-test routines for quick verification of internal
circuitry and operation.
