Fluke 1586A 120/C Super-DAQ Temperature Scanner

Overview

The Fluke 1586A 120/C Super-DAQ is a precision temperature data acquisition system with accredited calibration, designed for both factory multi-channel data logging and laboratory benchtop sensor calibration. It scans and records temperature, DC voltage, DC current, and resistance for up to 40 input channels at speeds up to 10 channels per second. The /C designation indicates this unit is supplied with accredited calibration documentation. When configured with the optional DAQ-STAQ Multiplexer, the 1586A 120/C delivers benchtop reference thermometer accuracy for calibration of PRTs, RTDs, thermistors, and thermocouples.
