Move to the next-generation
34401A DMM with 100% assurance
Like most 34401A DMM owners, you rely on your
DMM and you trust the answers it gives you. Now,
with the Agilent Truevolt 34461A DMM, you can
get all of the advantages of the 34401A and more.
Now you can get faster answers and have even
more confi dence in your results.
The best news of all? You can migrate from the
34401A to the 34461A without a hassle. No need
to rewrite your software programs or spend hours
learning a brand-new, complicated interface.
Use your existing programs: The 34461A
DMM is the industry’s only 100% drop-in, SCPI-
compatible replacement for the 34401A DMM.
Other DMMs may claim 34401A SCPI compat-
ibility, but only a subset of SCPI commands are
implemented.
No long learning curve: The Truevolt DMMs
were designed by the same team that created the
34401A. The team kept 34401A measurements,
reliability and familiarity in mind as they created the
Truevolt family of DMMs. So you can use it without
spending hours learning how.
The 34461A represents everything you have known
and trusted with your Agilent DMM measurements
for decades – it just keeps getting stronger.
Migrate with confi dence: Everything you
depend on with the 34401A and more
