Keysight Bench Digital Multimeters Selection Guide

 

Keysight Bench DMM Selection Guide at TranscatAgilent DMMs have for years been the benchmark in high-quality bench digital multimeters. In fact, the Agilent 34401A (discontinued in December 2016) has been the world's most popular bench 6 Ω digit DMM for over a decade. Under the new name, Keysight is continuing this tradition. Keysight's offerings range from the 5 Ω digit 34450A to the 7 Ω digit 34470A. The direct replacement for the 34401A is the 34461A, which, in addition to USB, also offers LAN and GPIB connectivity. Keysight bench multimeters can be monitored and controlled with Keysight's Benchvue software.
