Fluke data acquisition solutions
adapt to your needs
Get the data you want, where, how and when you want it.
Fluke gives you a broad choice in how you collect and transfer data for process monitoring and
laboratory test systems. You can choose a stationary or portable system. Transfer data to internal
memory, to a removable memory card, or to your PC. Choose a standalone or distributed networked
units. And you can expand your system from 20 to more than 2,000 channels.
Regardless of which you choose you’ll always get Fluke’s well known accuracy, reliability, speed,
and ease of use. All Fluke data acquisition products feature unique, built-in universal signal condi-
tioning and a plug-in Universal Input Module to enable you to measure virtually any type of signal
without having to purchase extra equipment. Plus, powerful FlukeDAQ application software supports
easy configuration, trend analysis, remote viewing, email notifications and enables you to quickly
build human-machine-interfaces without any programming.
Any data acquisition application that requires high accuracy, easy setup, and convenience calls for
Fluke data acquisition products, which is why you’ll find them widely used for:
• R &D applications
• Environmental testing
• Product testing and process validation
• Troubleshooting
• Manufacturing test systems
Whether you’re gathering data at a high-voltage substation, a nuclear power plant, in a clean room,
on a production line, or on an automotive test track, Fluke data acquisition products can make your
job easier by delivering the data you need, when and where you need it.
Accuracy, flexibility and ease of use come standard
From a single 20 channel Hydra™ Series III
portable data logger to a 2,000+ channel preci-
sion temperature measurement 2680A data
acquisition system, Fluke data acquisition prod-
ucts share several unique advantages.
• Built-in signal conditioning saves time and
money. Fluke’s data acquisition
products were the first to integrate signal
conditioning directly into the instrument.
Assign any measurement function— thermo-
couple, RTD, volts, frequency, or ohms—to
any or all channels.
• Removable universal input module
connects any signal. Our unique, patented
Universal Input Module allows you to connect
and measure virtually any electrical or phys-
ical parameter. Thermocouple reference junc-
tion compensation occurs automatically by
sensing the temperature of the input module’s
isothermal block. Virtually any combination of
sensor or signal lines may be connected to the
input module, which is plugged into the back
of the data acquisition unit. You can pre-wire
extra input modules at each test site and move
your data acquisition units from one location to
another.
• Rugged design for reliable performance.
Fluke data acquisition products are designed
to stand up to rugged industrial environ-
ments with some models operating from -20°C
to 60°C. A sturdy metal chassis effectively
shields against electromagnetic interference so
you can maintain high measurement accuracy
on low-level signals regardless of surrounding
noise. They are tested to stringent shock and
vibration standards and to withstand surges of
up to 1500 V input on most models. All units
conform to IEC, CSA, and CE standards.
• Isolated circuitry for top accuracy. Fluke
analog measurement circuitry is fully isolated
channel to channel, input to output, and input
to ground, supporting direct measurement of
voltages up to 300 V ac rms and are certified
to international Category II electrical safety
standards
• Scan triggers, including interval, push button,
external, and alarm triggers, scan all defined
channels.
• Mx+B scaling is available on each channel.
• Math Channels. All Fluke data acquisition
products have available math channels to allow
real-time calculations to your data file based on
results of other channel readings.
• Two alarms can be set for each channel.
• Real-time clock offers precise time stamping
of data.
• Closed-case calibration delivers reliability
and traceability.
