1 Product Overview and Specifications Introduction Introduction This chapter supplies information about the Product, the manual set, safety information, contact information, and specifications. Product Overview The Fluke Calibration 1586A SUPER-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner (the Product or Instrument) is a 45 analog channel bench-top measurement instrument that measures and records temperature, resistance, dc volts, and dc current (see Table 1-1). See the Specifications section for information on the types and ranges of the measurement inputs the Product can accept. Features of the Product include: • Temperature Accuracy - Measures temperature with uncertainty as low as 0.01 °C with a PRT, 0.003 °C with a thermistor, or 0.2 °C with a thermocouple. PRT accuracy is enhanced by 4-wire sensing that cancels out lead-wire resistance, bidirectional source current that cancels thermoelectric EMF in the PRT, and ITS-90 characterization that accurately relates resistance to temperature. • Scan - Sequentially scan up to 45 analog channels per scan sweep. In addition, the Product also has 20 math channels, one DIO channel, and one TOT channel that can be included in scan. A scan can be manually controlled from the front panel or triggered with a variety of triggers such a timer, an alarm, an external source, or a remote SCPI command. While a scan is in progress, all channel values can be viewed on the display in a spreadsheet format along with statistics such as average, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, peak-to-peak, and rate-of-change. With the Graph feature, channel measurement data for up to four channels can be plotted and viewed on the display. Users can toggle the data mode with a softkey to view live data or historical data. • Monitor - View the measurement value or the statistics of a single channel. Monitor is an independent feature that can be used while a scan is in progress or inactive. Much like the Scan feature, the statistics of the single measurement can be viewed on the display or be shown in a graph. • Digital Multimeter Functionality (DMM) - Function that presents the user with familiar DMM features and controls like a standard bench DMM. The DMM can show 6 ½ digits on the display. To visualize trend data, the DMM provides additional functionality to graph and see measurement statistics. 1-3 MyFlukeStore Shop for Fluke products online at: www. .com 1.888.610.7664
