Logging multimeter and software kit

The Fluke 289 true-rms industrial logging multimeter and FlukeView Forms software have been combined to form a kit to enable users to turn logged data into graphs, tables and reports.

The multimeter diagnoses problems in plant automation, power distribution and electromechanical equipment. Combined with the software, the kit is claimed to maximise productivity, since it can monitor unattended equipment and enable users to perform other jobs. Users can save multiple logging sessions before PC download is necessary and can review logged readings in graphical format directly on the meter display using the TrendCapture capability.

The software lets users document, store and analyse individual readings or a series of measurements and then convert them into professional-looking documents. Once the data is downloaded, it provides an analysis capability that a meter alone can’t provide. It enables users to overlay logged data from six meters or six time periods for conditioning monitoring applications, to troubleshoot intermittent problems, or to identify ‘cause and effect’ relationships. The software also allows the archival storing and retrieving of waveforms with text so users can create their own library for easy reference and comparison.
