The Fluke 5100B is a microprocessor-controlled multifunction calibrator designed to calibrate analog and digital multimeters up to 4.5 digits. It provides accurate, low-noise AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, and resistance outputs. The calibrator can be enhanced with a 10 MHz wideband voltage option and features direct-drive outputs for Fluke power and transconductance amplifiers.
