Fluke Corporation (Everett, WA) has published a valuable series of application notes to help electricians and electronics professionals do advanced electrical testing with their Fluke digital multimeters (DMMs).

Advanced DMMs, such as the Fluke 289 Industrial Trending Digital Multimeter and Fluke 287 Electronics Multimeter, incorporate a multitude of sophisticated test and measurement capabilities. But some users may be unsure of how those capabilities are used, or why the tools are designed as they are. Fluke Application Notes, available through the Fluke website, are written and illustrated to take the mystery out, so Fluke users can solve problems and get the most from their Fluke test tools.

One new feature is the dual impedance capability built into the Fluke 289 DMM. Most DMMs sold today for testing industrial, electrical, and electronic systems have high impedance input circuits greater than 1 megohm.

Fluke Corp. also released a new, enhanced Version 3.4 of FlukeView Forms, its analysis and reporting software for digital multimeters (DMMs) and other test instruments. Updated FlukeView Forms 3.4 software enhances compatibility with Windows Vista and latest firmware. Free updates are available for current users.

Fluke also announced four brief online videos that introduce the DMM features such as TrendCapture, data logging and Min/Max/Average testing. A fourth video explains the user-friendly features of the Fluke 287 and Fluke 289, such as the large, bright backlit display screen and onscreen help available by pushing one button.
