Fluke clamp current meters have 2 features that seem similar: peak and

clamps is "In-rush".

How do these differ? Isn't in-rush current the short, max current at
motor-turn on? Shouldn't meters with a Max feature capture this accurately?

Compare, for example, my old Fluke 36 (Max):

and the 334 (In-Rush):

(click "Explore" then "Selection Guide").

How do Max & In-rush differ? Only in the marketing department?
Or is there a real-world difference?

Thanks,

THERE IS NO IN-RUSH APPLICABLE WITH CLAMP ON METERS

The meter READS the inrush signature, you idiot. Not create it.
