content: Quote from: ErikTheNorwegian on February 26, 2014, 12:15:46 pmI'd say that Americans are doing agreatjob at using guns for their intended purpose, which is to cause death. Last place I lived in USA was Baltimore, where there was over 1 murder per day on average, almost all with guns.(I'm an American living in Switzerland -- another country with high gun ownership, and consequently a high percentage of murders and suicides committed with guns. The military training works! :/ )

content: A truth about gun ownership is that not all gun owners are willing to kill others in their propriety with their guns, and moreover, target shooting is a sport. And second, if your government decides that you can't own guns to defend yourself or your propriety, there are three possibilities:n°1 : hiding yourself or your valuable items so they don't have a reason to threat youn°2 : create something that can do the job or some way around itn°3 : get a gun anyway and don't care about the rulesPeople kills each other (or themselves) for many reasons. There's no way around to this: it has been proven by the beginning of history.And triggering a debate about gun ownership in this forum is against the rules and useless, because politics isand in my opinion politicians are all stupid because changing politics is just a way around instead of solving problems because you can agree or disagree with them but the problem still awaits to be solved and time goes by.

content: I got the latest Fluke 8846A firmware, Firmware2.10.882.24, and if anyone need it just PM me and give me a upload page, ex google drive, or i send it tru wetransfer.com - need your e-mail adresse to do that.. (sorry no FTP upload alowed from inside this company) where i can drop it i gladly share it.The cost of doing that? A Thank you up i the right corner of this post..Be advised there is a need for recalibration of the instruments DC/ac 400mA range afterwards..ErikFrom readme:CalibrationThe 8845A/46A will retain all of the calibration values after the firmware update.However, released firmware versions 1 & 2 (see the included file Software versions.pdf)will require calibration of the new dc/ac 400 mA range and for the dc/dc ratio function.Contact an authorized Fluke Service Center for this calibration.

content: The (last) OutG firmware update that was available online (that I know of) was the one shown in the last picture.The later SW may be due to the HW change, and therefore might not be compatible with earlier hardware.

content: Hello- resurrecting this old thread since i didn't find any more relevant one.I have a Fluke 8846A (serial # 9451014, OutG SW 1.0.xxx). I understand the newer 2.1 or 2.3 FW supports "Fluke 8842A Emulation Mode", which I need for some some pre-compiled software.If anyone has it I would greatly appreciate if I could get my hands on it (link via PM, perhaps).Thanks!/John.
