This unit

The Agilent/Keysight 3400B is a true RMS analog voltmeter engineered for precision AC voltage and decibel measurements across audio and RF frequencies. It delivers accurate RMS readings on sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms, making it essential for broadband noise characterization, fast-rise pulse analysis, and high-frequency signal assessment. The instrument combines wide dynamic range with frequency-dependent accuracy specifications, enabling reliable measurements in demanding RF and audio test environments.


Technical Specifications

Common Agilent / Keysight 3400B faults: blown input fuse, worn input jacks, display segment failure, relay contact wear on bench DMMs. Common faults include worn input jacks (banana socket contact wear on the mA and COM terminals), blown input fuses (especially the 440 mA HRC fuse), and display segment failures. Keithley 2000/2001/2002 bench DMMs commonly develop relay contact wear affecting resistance accuracy after extended service.
