The world’s most stable digitizing multimeter

Designed for calibration laboratories, the 8588A long-scale high-precision multimeter features superior accuracy and long-term stability over a wide measurement range and more than 12 measurement functions. In the standards lab, you can depend on this instrument to perform the way you expect, with repeatable measurements time after time.

8558A

Stability, simplicity, and performance

The 8588A incorporates exceptional linearity, low noise and stability in the design. This best-in-class long-scale digital reference multimeter guarantees superior 3.5 ppm one-year dc voltage accuracy at 99% confidence level and long-term stability over a wide measurement range and functions.

Excellent ac performance

The 8588A achieves remarkable ac rms measurement performance that is ten times faster, two times less noisy, and more sensitive for low level signals than other instruments in this class. It utilizes digital rms calculations to maintain full resolution of a wide dynamic range of digitized signals.

Usability designed for metrologists

The 8588A is the ideal lab multimeter, with an easy-to-access user interface in English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. An intuitive graphical display lets you easily visualize trends, histograms, complex waveforms, and statistics and perform routine metrology tasks quickly. You can perform both real-time and post-capture analysis for short-term and long-term stability, identifying and quantifying drifts, run-around noise and uncertainty analysis.

Using another reference DMM in your automated testing workflow?

The 8588A 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.
