34461A: The industry’s only 100% drop-in, SCPI-compatible replacement for the
34401A DMM.
Migrate with confidence:
Everything you depend on with
the 34401A and more
Like most 34401A DMM owners, you rely
on your DMM and you trust the answers
it gives you. Now, with the Keysight
Truevolt 34461A DMM, you can get all of
the advantages of the 34401A and more.
Now you can get faster answers and have
even more confidence in your results.
The best news of all? You can migrate
from the 34401A to the 34461A without a
hassle. No need to rewrite your software
programs or spend hours learning a
brand-new, complicated interface.
Use your existing programs: The 34461A
DMM is the industry’s only 100%
drop-in, SCPI-compatible replacement
for the 34401A DMM. Other DMMs may
claim 34401A SCPI compatibility, but
only a subset of SCPI commands are
implemented.
No long learning curve: The Truevolt
DMMs were designed by the same team
that created the 34401A. The team kept
34401A measurements, reliability and
familiarity in mind as they created the
Truevolt family of DMMs. So you can use it
without spending hours learning how.
The 34461A represents everything you
have known and trusted with your Keysight
DMM measurements for decades – it just
keeps getting stronger.
