The industry's fastest direct digitizing multimeter at 5 mega-samples per second

Fluke Calibration's 8558A, ideal for system automation in labs and manufacturing test environments.

Accurate data, delivered amazingly fast

Shorter test time on the 8558A high-speed digital platform enables you to increase throughput, improve yield and realize a greater return on your investment. The 8558A digitizes to memory at 200 nanoseconds per reading and delivers 4.5 digit data to PC at 100,000 samples per second. Fast, high resolution data capture gives you the quantity and quality of information you need to make timely, correct decisions affecting system throughput and efficiency.

Debug and perfect your device under test

The 8558A features a 5 mega-sample digitizing rate with up to 20 MHz analog bandwidth, making it the first and only instrument 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 for use in real life environments.

Fast, reliable, and accurate compatibility

Inserting a new instrument into a tightly synchronized system can create overhead and incompatibility. The 8558A's digital platform includes common connectivity interfaces and precise triggering that lets it digitize, integrate and transfer data to anywhere in the system for analysis with minimal effort and the highest reliability. Compatibility with 488.2 and SCPI interfaces facilitates integration within an existing system enviromment with many other instruments.

Using another DMM in your automated testing workflow?

The 8558A provides full emulation of the Fluke 8508A Reference Multimeter and command compatibility of the Keysight 3458A Digital Multimeter via SCPI commands, making it an ideal replacement for these older instruments.
