Fluke 8508A & Agilent 3458/HFL
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
When comparing two products features and specification using sales information
it is often difficult to determine which product will meet the needs of your specific
application. This is mostly because each supplier will define specifications using
alternate methods. This Selection Guide will help you compare the specifications
and features of the Fluke 8508A Reference multimeter with the nearest
equivalent digital multimeter the Agilent 3458/HFL. Both the 8508A and the
special 3458/HFL multimeters are available through the Fluke sales channel.
The following pages summarize & segment the features of each meter into the
following three categories.
•
Accuracy
•
Functionality & Versatility
•
Ease of Use
The 'Comments' column found in the following table provides a brief explanation
against each feature and its relevance to the intended metrology applications.
