Users Manual

Instrument [BCN] already has this filename!

Your have configured more than one instrument with the same data file name.

Check your data file names and make sure each instrument has a unique data file name, or uncheck Enable Data File Recording in the Data File Configuration dialog box.

Instrument BCN does not match! Reconfigure Communications!

You have a BCN mismatch between what is entered at the instrument and what is entered in NetDAQ Logger.

The BCN shown on the Icon Bar and the BCN shown on the instrument front panel do not agree. Change one or the other. If you change the BCN for an instrument, you must change it at both the instrument front panel and in the Communications Configuration File.

Instrument has older software that will not support computed channel equations or custom RTDs!

You attempted to configure computed channel equations or custom RTDs on an instrument that does not support these features.

As long as you do not attempt to set computed channel equations or custom RTDs in NetDAQ Logger, you can continue to operate with your current software. If you want to use these features, you will need to contact a Fluke Service Center for a software upgrade.

Instrument is busy completing its last received command!

Your instrument is currently processing a command and cannot accept another command until the first command operation is complete.

This can occur when sending a command to an instrument after aborting the Reading Remaining Scan process, particularly when the measurement time of a scan is long. Long measurement times result from configuring several channels with slow-reading functions such as frequency and AC volts.

Instrument is in use by another PC, or Socket Port number is incorrect!

You are trying to operate the instrument from more than one host computer, or the instrument Socket Port does not match the host computer Socket Port.

Operate the instrument from one host computer at a time, or check the Socket Port settings at both the instrument and host computer.

2645A, 2640A specifications

The Fluke 2640A and 2645A are advanced bench multimeters that represent a significant leap in measurement technology, designed primarily for electrical engineers and technicians who require precision and reliability in their readings. These multimeters are built to cater to complex applications in manufacturing, research, and development.

One of the standout features of the Fluke 2640A and 2645A is their high accuracy. 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.
