Using Online Help

In addition, try to avoid running other tasks on the computer when you are writing to the data file. The following suggestions are:

∙Avoid using the Quick Plot, Spy, Readings Table, or Logging Status windows.

∙Avoid using the Trend Link window in real time.

∙Close any other applications that are open.

∙Avoid the use of screen savers.

∙Avoid file conversion operations during scanning. (See “Data Files.”)

∙Increase the amount of RAM in your computer if possible.

Increasing Network Speed

4-22.

Use these guidelines to increase network speed.

∙Place instruments on an isolated network to avoid high network traffic and network down time. If you are using a general network, place the instruments and host computers on the same subnet.

∙Install the Ethernet Card in a 16-bit slot.

Optimizing Performance for Precision

4-23.

More precision can mean sacrificing some of the instrument’s measurement speed. The guidelines for increasing the data throughput and the network speed do not affect the precision of your instruments and you can use them during high precision measurements.

To optimize precision for all measurement methods and functions:

∙Select the Slow Reading Rate.

∙Enable the Drift Correction feature.

With specifications that can reach up to 0.0035% DC Voltage accuracy, users can trust that their measurements will be consistent and precise. This is especially critical in fields like automated test equipment (ATE) where exact measurements can be crucial for product quality and safety.

Both models incorporate a large, easy-to-read display, making it convenient for users to view measurement results clearly from a distance. They also feature a wide measurement range, capable of handling a variety of tasks, from basic voltage and current measurements to more complex tasks such as resistance and temperature measurements with appropriate sensors.

The multimeters also stand out with their advanced data logging capabilities. The Fluke 2645A, for instance, can store up to 10,000 readings, allowing for extensive data collection and analysis without the need for constant monitoring. This is beneficial for long-term studies or processes that require continual oversight.

Connectivity is another key characteristic. Both the 2640A and 2645A support USB and RS-232 interfaces, which enable easy integration with computers and other devices for seamless data transfer. This feature is important for engineers who rely on software for data analysis and visualization.

Another notable technology included in these models is the Fluke Connect app compatibility, which allows users to remotely monitor measurements from their smartphones or tablets. This capability provides added flexibility, enabling technicians to work hands-free while still keeping an eye on process measurements.

Additionally, the Fluke 2645A comes with a graphical display option, allowing users to visualize measurement trends over time. This graphical representation can be invaluable for diagnosing issues or observing patterns in data.

In conclusion, the Fluke 2640A and 2645A multimeters offer exceptional performance with their high accuracy, extensive data logging, connectivity options, and advanced visualization capabilities. These features make them indispensable tools for professionals in a variety of fields, ensuring that they can achieve reliable results in their measurement endeavors.
