3458A Technical Description
General Description The 3458A is a very high precision digital multimeter that can measure AC
or DC volts, AC or DC current, AC+DC volts, AC+DC current, resistance,
period, and frequency.
The 3458A can also perform complex math calculations. Its maximum
reading rate is 100,000 readings/sec. The maximum input voltage is
1000 V peak with 4 1/2 to 8 1/2 digit resolution.
The multimeter has a digitizing function that converts continuous analog
