The logged results can be uploaded to a PC using Windows-based software.
Thus, the temperatures can be stored, presented graphically and analysed, and the photographic images can be displayed on screen.
The Fluke 574 offers the same data logging capability and PC data analysis software as the 576 but has no photographic capability.
The entry-level Fluke 572 has no storage or photographic capability.
Other features include MAX/MIN readings on all models, difference and average readings on the 574 and 576 models, and audible alarms for high readings (574 and 576) and low readings (all models) in comparison to 30 pre-set levels.
For a limited period only, the 572 is bundled with a free Fluke 110 DMM, the 574 with a free Fluke 111 DMM and the 576 with a free Fluke 112 DMM.
The two higher end models are supplied with Windows-based software and compatible data cable, and a type-K thermocouple probe. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
