What it is

The Keysight 34401 A is a digital multimeter.[1][2][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A digital multimeter measures electrical quantities by converting an input signal into a digital reading.

A digital multimeter commonly accepts voltage at more than one input range and can present the result as a numeric display for direct reading.

Why won't it start?

Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.

  • One source states the unit does not power on.
  • One source states the unit powers on and reads accurate voltage.

Frequently asked questions

What types of measurements can a digital multimeter of this class perform?General reference — not yet source-verified

Such instruments measure DC and AC voltage, DC and AC current, resistance (both two-wire and four-wire), frequency, period, and continuity. Some models also support diode testing and temperature measurement with appropriate probes.

How is measurement accuracy specified for this class of DMM?General reference — not yet source-verified

Accuracy is typically given as a percentage of reading plus a percentage of range, sometimes with additional temperature coefficient and time stability specifications. Calibration intervals are recommended to maintain stated accuracy.

What is the typical resolution of such a DMM?General reference — not yet source-verified

High-resolution DMMs can display readings with up to several digits, providing fine granularity for small signal changes. Resolution depends on the selected range and measurement function.

What environmental factors affect measurement performance?General reference — not yet source-verified

Temperature, humidity, and electrical noise can influence accuracy. Instruments of this class are often designed with temperature compensation and shielding, but best performance is achieved in stable, controlled laboratory conditions.
