Applications
The HP 34401A is one of Hewlett-Packard's most widely used bench digital multimeters, introduced in the early 1990s and still in active service in electronics labs, calibration facilities, and educational institutions worldwide. It measures DC and AC voltage and current, resistance (2-wire and 4-wire), frequency, period, continuity, and diode characteristics, with 6½-digit resolution. The instrument is programmable via HP-IB (GPIB/IEEE-488) and RS-232 using the SCPI command language, making it a standard choice for automated test systems. This Edition 4 User's Guide covers all front-panel and remote-interface operations in full detail, including measurement configuration, triggering, math functions (min/max, relative, dB, limit testing), calibration, and error diagnostics — making it the essential reference for technicians, engineers, and calibration lab personnel working with this instrument.
