Fluke Calibration 1586A 120 Super-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner. The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner is the most accurate and flexible temperature data acquisition system on the market. The Fluke Calibration 1586-A scans and records temperature, dc voltage, dc current, and resistance for up to 40 input channels and scan speeds as fast as 10 channels per second. The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ can be configured for use as a multi-channel data logger in the factory or as a precision reference thermometer for benchtop sensor calibration in the lab.

The Fluke Calibration 1586A Temperature Scanner is ideal for applications such as thermal mapping, temperature validation, process sensor calibration, heat-treat furnace testing, process monitoring, quality control testing, and more. These applications are found in various industries including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food processing, aerospace, and automotive.

Best temperature measurement accuracy

The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner reads PRTs, thermocouples, and thermistors with best-in-class accuracy:

PRTs ± 0.005 °C (using the external DAQ-STAQ Multiplexer)

Thermocouples: ± 0.5 °C (using the High-Capacity Module and internal CJC)

Thermistors: ± 0.002 °C

Current reversal minimizes thermoelectric effects improving PRT/RTD measurement accuracy

Automatic internal reference junction compensation improves thermocouple measurement accuracy

Accurately measure scalable transducers such as temperature and pressure transmitters using Mx + B gain and offset calculations for each channel

Temperature sensor characterizations include ITS-90, CVD, Polynomial, PT385, and PT392

Probe library stores up to 100 sensor profiles simplifying setup

6-1/2 digit display resolution for dc voltage, dc current, and resistance

Flexible configuration for the factory or benchtop

For factory applications such as temperature validation, the Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ is configured with the internal High-Capacity Module. Connecting thermocouples or RTDs to input terminals can be time consuming—especially if you're using many sensors of the same type for one job, and then switching to a different sensor type for another job. The internal High-Capacity Module allows you to pre-configure multiple input modules and simply exchange one module for another depending on your test requirements. Recall a stored test setup to make the changeover even faster. And if you prefer, you can always measure a variety of different input types at the same time in a single High-Capacity Module, including thermocouples, RTDs, voltage, resistance, or current.

To simplify applications such as temperature uniformity testing, the Align Channels feature allows you to automatically "zero" offsets between sensors relative to a designated reference channel. An Mx + B offset is stored for each channel and an indicator let's you know that an offset has been applied.

The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ includes 20 math channels and 15 different mathematical operations that can be applied to measured results. Combining calculated results of multiple math channels lets you compute complex operations such as F0 calculations.

For a calibration lab where accuracy is of primary importance, the Super-DAQ is best configured with a DAQ-STAQ Multiplexer. The external DAQ-STAQ features mini-jack thermocouple terminals—each with its own reference junction sensor—and patented mini-DWF, gold-plated input terminals, which accept bare wire, spade lug, or mini-banana-plug probe terminations. Easily connect and disconnect PRTs, thermistors, and thermocouples for benchtop temperature calibration. It can be stacked on the Fluke Calibration 1586A to reduce footprint in busy labs. Having the fiexibility to configure the Super-DAQ for factory or lab use reduces your equipment needs and cost.

Multiple modes of operation: The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ can operate in four modes that let you scan, monitor, measure, or function as a digital multimeter from a single instrument.

Sequentially scan through channels based on a user defined test. Depending on your application, the user can select a fast, medium, or slow scan rate on the Fluke Calibration 1586/A. With scan speeds as fast as 10 channels per second, you can collect data on all 40 channels in less than four seconds. Easily capture time-stamped measurements and correlate related events. Scans can be initiated through six different trigger types to include: external trigger, time interval, remote SCPI command, alarm trigger, manual trigger, and an automated test trigger.

Monitor any single channel during a scan, without interrupting the scan. Measure and record data on a single channel without pre-configuring a test file. In DMM mode, use the front panel channel like a familiar benchtop digital multimeter to quickly measure dc voltage, dc current, or 2-wire and 4-wire

Real-time graphing in color: Most data acquisition systems only let you view data on one channel. But now, the Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ lets you view real-time data for all channels in table format or chart up to four channels in color at the same time. You can quickly see the current process state at- a-glance, or easily verify that your channels have been connected and configured properly.

You can zoom in or out to see data of interest and monitor trends. A history mode lets you scroll through collected data within a scan file—all without a PC and expensive software. Switch between chart view and table view to see measurement data and statistics, including average, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, peak-to-peak, and rate of change.

Not only does the Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ include a rich graphical display, but you can also select between nine different languages including English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, or Russian.

Each channel can be assigned two independent alarms which indicate when either an upper (HI) or lower (LO) range has been exceeded. If an alarm trips, the out-of-range condition is indicated on the display. Alarms can also be assigned to any of the six TTL outputs for control of external devices.

Data portability and security: The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ includes 20 MB of internal memory that can store over 75,000 time-stamped readings. Data and setup files can be easily moved to a PC for analysis using a USB ?ashdrive or over a network using the LAN interface connection.

The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ also includes two levels of data security to prevent unauthorized users from tampering with or forging test data or setup files. This security feature is especially important to industries that are regulated by government agencies where data traceability is required.

Automated sensor calibration: With the Automated Test feature, you can automate sensor calibration without a PC and software. When connected to a Fluke Calibration drywell or Fluid bath via the RS-232 interface, the Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ takes control of the temperature source and runs your calibration automatically. You simply program the number of setpoint temperatures and their values, select a scan sequence (linear, alternate, up/down), assign a reference channel, and set the required stability band.

The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ monitors the temperature source's stability via the reference channel, collects the data once stabilized, and then advances to the next setpoint temperature. After you configure and start the test, you can walk away to work on other things. The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ just made your day a whole lot easier!
