The HP 3458A multimeter shatters long-standing performance barriers of speed and accuracy on the production test floor, in R&D, and in the calibration lab. The HP 3458A is simply the fastest, most flexible, and most accurate digital multimeter ever offered by Hewlett-Packard. In your system or on the bench, you will save time and money with unprecedented test system throughput and accuracy, seven function measurement flexibility, and low cost of ownership.

Select a reading rate of 100,000 readings per second for maximal test throughput. Or achieve highest levels of precision with up to 8 1/2 digits of measurement resolution and 0.1 part per million transfer accuracy. Add to this, programming compatibility through the Hewlett-Packard Multimeter Language (HPML) and the HP 3458A's simplicity of operation and you have the ideal multimeter for your most demanding applications.
