Simply Right For Your Basic Needs, Without Features

Compromising Quality –– Up to 120,000 counts
resolution
The U3400 Series digital multimeters (DMMs) come with functions vital for your everyday
–– Up to 0.012% basic DCV
measurements: DC, AC and AC+ DC voltage and current, 2- and 4-wire resistance,
accuracy
frequency, continuity and diode tests.
–– 11 basic measurements
and up to six built-in math
Math functions dBm, Min/Max, Relative, Compare, Hold and Percentage** are also
functions
available to ease your measurement analysis.
–– Dual display on bright VFD
–– Selectable resolutions for
Not only are the U3400 Series built robust for lasting reliability over the long haul, these
variable measurement
DMMs also ensure dependable measurements with up to 0.012% basic DCV accuracy.
speeds*
–– Kensington lock slot security
Efficient Testing With Dual Display and Selectable
Resolutions* * U3402A only
** U3401A only
Dual display on the U3400 Series lets you view two parameters simultaneously as you
measure, and further enhances your troubleshooting tasks. For example, the ability
to see both AC voltage and frequency simultaneously would help you to measure the
frequency response of amplifier circuits more efficiently and effectively. Refer to Page 3
for more typical dual display combinations and applications.

Up to three measurement speeds are available on the U3402A: Slow, Medium and Fast.
This means greater flexibility in catering to different testing needs: a faster measurement
speed at lower resolution or a higher resolution at slower measurement speed.

Physical Security
Your instruments may be at risk of theft or misplacement whenever you leave them
unattended on the bench. With the U3400 Series’ rear Kensington lock slot, you can
secure your DMM and be assured that it is where you expect it to be for your continued
testing the next day.
