744: Get HART-ability
The Fluke 744 offers all of the capabilities of the 743B, plus
the ability to calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot HART
instrumentation. Integrated HART communication functions
permit you to monitor, control, and calibrate HART instru-
mentation. It handles fast pulsed instruments such as RTD
transmitters and PLCs, with pulses as short as 1 ms. Instrumentation

HART instruments. The Fluke 743B and 744 are compatible
with Fluke 700SW DPC/TRACK software
743B: More memory, plus a PC interface and with software from Beamex,
and data logging Cornerstone, Fisher-Rosemont, Honeywell,
The 743B has all the capabilities of the 741B plus a PC On Time Support and Prime Technologies.
interface that lets you load procedures, lists, and instructions
created with software – or unload data for printing, archiving,
and analysis. With its expanded memory, the 743B can hold
a full week of calibrations and procedures.
741B: A complete documenting calibrator
The 741B is the economical choice for plants that don’t use
PCs or that require traditional paper forms. It has storage
capacity for a day’s calibration and measurement data. When
you’re back at the shop, recall the data on-screen to fill out
calibration forms.
