The Fluke 2625A HYDRA Series II is a 21-channel data acquisition and logging system engineered for industrial and laboratory environments requiring simultaneous multi-parameter measurement. It acquires DC voltage, AC voltage, temperature via thermocouple (J, K, N, E, T, R, S, B, C) and RTD inputs, resistance, and frequency data across front-panel and rear-module channels. The removable Universal Input Module enables rapid reconfiguration without external signal conditioning, while automatic thermocouple reference junction compensation operates via the isothermal block temperature sensor.
