The Fluke® 80 Series meters are one of the most common industrial digital multimeters in the industry, with several million meters in use. In addition to measuring AC and DC voltage and current, resistance and testing diodes, the 80 Series meters include MIN/MAX/AVERAGE recording mode, relative mode, frequency/duty cycle measurement and capacity measurement. All meter functions will be covered.
