The Keysight 34450A is a 5.5 digit benchtop digital multimeter that combines a wide range of measurement functions with a fast reading rate and a dual-display OLED interface. The instrument provides 11 measurement functions spanning DC and True RMS AC voltage and current, 2-wire and 4-wire resistance, frequency, continuity, diode test, capacitance, and temperature, with a 0.015% basic DC voltage accuracy specification.

The 34450A is positioned for general industrial and educational use, including production-line throughput applications, day-to-day bench measurement, and PC-controlled automated test. Its reading speed of up to 190 readings per second supports manufacturing throughput, and its 50,000-point data logging memory with built-in histogram and statistical functions enables on-instrument data analysis without requiring an external PC for routine review.

## Brand Heritage

Keysight Technologies was established in 2014 as a spin-off from Agilent Technologies, which itself was spun off from Hewlett-Packard's test and measurement business in 1999. The 34450A is part of the bench DMM product line that traces back through this corporate lineage.

**Important:** Measurement category rating: CAT II 300 V, CAT I 1000 VDC / 750 VAC rms, 2500 Vpk transient overvoltages, Pollution Degree 2. The current input is protected by an externally accessible 0.4 A / 500 V fuse on the I terminal and an internal 11 A / 1000 V fuse on the 10 A terminal.**Important:** DC current measurements at high currents require settling time of (2.0 x Current^2) seconds; e.g., a 3 A DCI measurement requires 18 seconds of settling time to meet published accuracy.**Important:** Continuity and diode test functions are available in Fast mode only. Continuity threshold is fixed at less than 10 ohms.**Important:** Resistance specifications apply with the NULL function enabled. Without NULL, add 0.2 ohms additional error to 2-wire and 4-wire resistance measurements.**Important:** The I terminal (mA range) is protected by an externally accessible 0.4 A, 500 V rear-panel fuse; the 10 A terminal is protected by an internal 11 A, 1000 V fuse.**Important:** BenchVue software requires a license for unrestricted operation; the no-cost version is limited to one hour per session.Recommended pairing: the E2308A thermistor temperature probe is listed in the datasheet for the 34450A's temperature measurement function, which uses 2-wire resistance measurement of a 5 kΩ thermistor sensor (YSI 4407) with computer conversion.
