Connection is down!

Unable to initialize Winsock!

The host computer cannot establish network communication.

The host computer software cannot find or open the Winsock DLL.

2.Try Verify Communications. If it still fails, then either the host computer Ethernet adapter is not working or the instrument is defective. If binding errors occurred during booting, see Appendix I for more information. Also refer to "Error and Status Messages" in Appendix J.

1.Make sure the Ethernet adapter driver and TCP/IP software are installed. See “Installing Host Computer Networking Software.”

2.Make sure the host computer IP address and subnet mask are set properly.

3.For an isolated network installation on Windows 95 or Windows NT, the host computer IP address must be 198.178.246.1xx.

For a general network installation, you may need to set a default gateway address also. See “Setting Host Computer Networking Parameters” earlier in this chapter.

Make sure the TCP/IP and Winsock software are installed. See “Installing Host Computer Networking Software” in this chapter.

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.
