Agilent U3400 Series 4½ and 5½ Digit
Digital Multimeters
Simply right for your basic needs,
without compromising quality
The U3400 Series digital multimeters
(DMMs) come with functions vital for your
everyday measurements: DC, AC and AC+
DC voltage and current, 2- and 4-wire
resistance, frequency, continuity and
diode tests.
Math functions dBm, Min/Max, Relative,
Compare, Hold and Percentage** are also
available to ease your measurement
analysis.
Not only are the U3400 Series built robust
for lasting reliability over the long haul,
these DMMs also ensure dependable
measurements with up to 0.012% basic
DCV accuracy.
Data Sheet
Basic + Good = Elegant Simplicity
Efficient testing with dual display
and selectable resolutions*
Dual display on the U3400 Series lets you
view two parameters simultaneously as you
measure, and further enhances your
troubleshooting tasks. For example, the
ability to see both AC voltage and
frequency simultaneously would help you
to measure the frequency response of
amplifier circuits more efficiently and
effectively. Refer to Page 3 for more typical
dual display combinations and applications.
Up to three measurement speeds are
available on the U3402A: Slow, Medium and
Fast. This means greater flexibility in
catering to different testing needs: a faster
measurement speed at lower resolution or
a higher resolution at slower measurement
speed.
Physical security
Your instruments may be at risk of theft or
misplacement whenever you leave them
unattended on the bench. With the U3400
Series’ rear Kensington lock slot, you can
secure your DMM and be assured that it is
where you expect it to be for your continued
testing the next day.
