Specifications

The 34410A and 34411A are
backward compatible with the
Agilent 34401A multimeter and
support a 34401A emulation
mode. You will find a detailed
comparison of the 34401A
with the new 34410A/ 34411A
DMMs in Application Note
5989-4038EN, “Replacing the
Agilent 34401A with the New
Agilent 34410A and 34411A
High-Performance Digital
Multimeters.” A number of
performance specifications are
called out in this application
note; however, please refer to
the 34410A/34411A multimeter
data sheet, publication number
5989-3738EN, for specifics on
overall measurement and
system performance.
Overview of Features
and Performance
Both the 34410A and 34411A
are excellent bench-top and
system DMMs. They are designed
to be the best of both worlds
and provide a very consistent
path from the R&D bench envi-
ronment into design validation
and manufacturing.
Key features for bench-top testing
As bench DMMs, the 34410A
and 34411A provide expanded
R&D characterization functions
and features:
• Small bench-top foot print
• Easy-to-use interface
• Dual displays for setup
and measurements
• Enhanced probe kit for
surface-mount parts
• DCV, DCI, ACV, ACI,
Freq/Period, 2/4 wire
• Diode testing and continuity
• Precision capacitance
measurements
• Offset-compensated
resistance measurements
• Temperature measurements
(thermistor and RTD)
• Peak measurements while
measuring DC or AC signals
• Statistical math at maximum
sample rate
• Limit checking with analog-
like status on display
• Simple data logging to
non-volatile memory
• Built-in Web server
• Intuilink software for
Excel spread sheets
In today’s electronic world,
surface-mount resistors and
capacitors are very small and
unmarked. If you have a DMM
with a high-quality set of
surface-mount probes, you can
make precision capacitance
measurements which will help
you re-categorize that pile
of parts lying on your bench.
Peak measurements while per-
forming precision DC or AC
measurements is a significant
troubleshooting tool. The built-in
data logging wizard allows you
to pick any function, set up the
timing, and let the DMM make
unattended measurements while
storing them into non-volatile
memory. With a LAN connec-
tion to your PC, the built-in
Web server makes it easy to
cut and paste readings directly
into your spread sheet, or you
can use the supplied IntuiLink
software for simple data logging
from USB, LAN, or GPIB.
