HandHeld oscilloscopes

Agilent Technologies has introduced a new series of affordable handheld oscilloscopes, emphasising its commitment to providing low-cost test and measurement solutions.

Engineers and technicians in today's electronics industry face an increasing need for high-performance portable instruments in service and maintenance applications. Agilent's U1600A Series address these market needs, allowing users to perform tests in-plant and off-site without compromising performance.

Designed to address portability in multi-industrial automation, process control, facility maintenance and automotive service industries, the U1600A Series provides high-performance versatility with built-in DMM and recorder functions in two inaugural releases: the U1602A (20 MHz bandwidth) and the U1604A (40 MHz bandwidth).

Benefits of the new U1600A Series handheld digital oscilloscopes include:

• 3-in-1 solution — The models not only provide full-featured oscilloscope functionality, but also 6000 count DMM and data logging functions;
• Clearly distinguished waveforms — The models offer 4.5-inch LCD color display for easier viewing of both channels simultaneously;
• Effective capture of signal anomalies, deviations and glitches — These models provide real-time sampling rates of up to 200 MSa/s;
• Deep memory storage — The models provide 125 Kbytes of memory depth, claimed to be 250 times the memory depth of competitive handheld oscilloscopes in the same class.

With the release of this new range of products, Agilent will better serve quality-conscious and cost-sensitive customers who are looking beyond benchtop solutions.

In Australia the products are distributed through Measurement Innovation for WA, NT and SA (Ph 08 9437 2550) and by TRIO Smartcal in other states and territories (Ph 1300 853 407.) Visit www.agilent.com/find/U1600A for a complete product tour or call today for a free evaluation.
