The 8846A puts Fluke into the 6.5-digit DMM market. It measures AC and DC voltage and current, two-wire and four-wire resistance, frequency, and period. The 8846A also measures temperature (with an RTD) and capacitance. Basic DC accuracy is 0.024%. A front-panel USB port lets you store data on a flash-memory device.

The DMM comes with special probes that let you make four-wire resistance measurements with two leads. Each probe lead contains a second, embedded wire and jacks that connect both wires in the lead to the meter. Soft keys let you invoke measurement functions such as statistics, histograms, and trend plots.
