Data security
If you use your 2638A in a regu-
lated industry, you will appreciate
the data traceability feature option
in the instrument setup menu. This
two level (administrator/authorized
user) system allows an administra-
tor to assign up to five authorized
users. The system provides an
authenticated record of the opera-
tor of any recorded data. Both
setup files and resulting data files
contain the authorized user ID and
timestamp. Guest users may use
an existing secured setup file but
cannot make changes, and any
resulting data file carries the non-
traceable label of “Guest.”
Calibration
The 2638A comes with a factory
test report showing all points
measured during the manufactur-
ing phase. Accredited calibration
certificates are available when
specified at the time of order.
Calibration of the 2638A is
straightforward and only requires a
password to access the calibration
menu from the front panel. The
2638A can be calibrated manually
following the internal menu or
by using automated procedures
with Fluke Calibration MET/CAL ®
Calibration Management Software.
Built-in relay maintenance
counter
The key to the isolation and
accuracy of the 2638A in part
comes from the use of high-quality
switching relays inside the unit.
Because these relays do deterio-
rate with extended use, the 2638A
has a maximum relay counter for
each installed relay board. This
will assist a user in anticipating
when replacing the relay board
may be advisable.

system? Fluke DAQ application
software (2680A-APSW) makes
it easy to seamlessly collect
data from multiple channels and
mainframes. Version 6.0 or later of
this powerful application software
links all Fluke data acquisition
products (NetDAQ ® Networked
Data Acquisition Unit, 2680 Series
Data Acquisition Systems and
Hydra III) into small or large data
collection systems.
If you want to build your own
system, use our LabView driv-
ers. Or use Fluke DAQ software
