Late Collision

A collision that occurs after the first 64 bytes in a frame. In 10BASE-T networks, late collisions will be seen as frames with a bad FCS. Causes of Late Collisions are a faulty NIC or a network that is too long. A too-long network is one in which the end-to-end signal propagation time is greater that the minimum legal sized frame.

Layer

One of seven levels in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. See OSI.

Link Pulse

A single-bit test pulse that is transmitted at least every 150 milliseconds during idle periods on 10BASE-T link segments to verify link integrity.

Manufacturer Prefix

The standard partial address used to identify a particular manufacturer. The prefix of the address is predefined uniquely for each manufacturer, while the remainder of the address uniquely identifies the station.

Master Browser

The Master Browser maintains the browse list, a list of all servers in the master browser’s domain or workgroup.

MBPS

Millions of bits per second. See BPS.

Multicast

Packets that are directed to a group of nodes rather than to a single node or all nodes. This is contrasted to a broadcast packet, which is directed to all nodes.

NEXT

Near-end crosstalk; crosstalk between two twisted pairs measured at the same end of the cable as the disturbing signal source.

NIC (Network Interface Card)

A network interface card is the adapter card that plugs into a computer to provide a network connection.

NVP (Nominal Velocity of Propagation)

The speed that a pulse travels along a cable, expressed as a percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum.

Series II specifications

The Fluke Series II is a cutting-edge line of industrial multimeters that incorporates advanced technology and features tailored for professionals working in critical environments. Renowned for their precision and reliability, these multimeters are quintessential tools for technicians and engineers alike, whether in manufacturing, electrical engineering, or maintenance applications.

One of the hallmark characteristics of the Fluke Series II is its robust design. Constructed to endure harsh working conditions, these meters come equipped with a high-impact casing that protects against drops and vibrations. Their IP67 rating ensures they are dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making them ideal for fieldwork in tough environments.

The Series II boasts a range of measurement capabilities. With the ability to measure voltage, current, and resistance, as well as additional readings such as frequency, capacitance, and temperature, these multimeters deliver unparalleled versatility. Many models in the Series II also feature True RMS (Root Mean Square) measurement capabilities, enabling accurate readings of non-linear and distorted waveforms, which are increasingly common in modern electronics.

Another significant feature is the advanced display technology. The Series II multimeters often come with large, high-contrast LCDs that facilitate easy reading in various lighting conditions. Some models even offer graphical displays, enabling users to visualize trends in measurement data over time.

User-friendliness is also a hallmark of the Fluke Series II. With intuitive interfaces and simplified navigation, users can access advanced features quickly. Auto-ranging capabilities allow the meter to automatically select the appropriate range for the measurement, minimizing user errors and streamlining the testing process.

Fluke's commitment to safety is underscored by the design of the Series II, which includes features such as safety-rated test leads, protective rubber booting, and a high-voltage warning indicator for added peace of mind.

Moreover, the connectivity options within the Series II enable seamless data transfer to PCs and mobile devices, facilitating easier logging and analysis of measurement data. Many models support Bluetooth or USB connectivity, making it easier than ever to integrate multimeter readings into existing data collection and analysis workflows.

In conclusion, the Fluke Series II multimeters stand out for their durability, versatility, and user-centric features. Their combination of advanced measurement technology, rugged design, and safety functions makes them essential instruments for professionals who demand accuracy and reliability in their work. The commitment to innovation and excellence that Fluke exemplifies ensures that the Series II remains a trusted choice in the field of industrial measurement tools.
