Handheld meters and 'scopes

Agilent has introduced a series of handheld digital multimeters and handheld oscilloscopes.

The U1250A series and U1600 series allow users to perform tests in the plant and off site.

The initial entry in the U1250A series comprises two models, the U1251A and the U1252A.

Benefits of the multimeters include: precise measurements - 4.5-digit resolution with 50,000 count full-scale on dual display and basic accuracy of up to 0.025%; the models come with capabilities such as automated data logging with the optional PC interface cable, 20 MHz frequency counter, and programmable square-wave generator and temperature measurement; rated at CAT III 1000 V, both models come in a robust package with shock-absorbing over-mould and operate within their rated specification, from -20 to 55°C.

Designed for portability in multi-industrial automation, process control, facility maintenance and automotive-service industries, the U1600A series of handheld oscilloscopes consists of two inaugural releases: the U1602A (20 MHz bandwidth) and the U1604A (40 MHz bandwidth).

Benefits of both 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" LCD colour display for easier viewing of both channels simultaneously; effective capture of signal anomalies, deviations and glitches - thee models provide real-time sampling rates of up to 200 MSa/s; deep memory storage - the models provide 125 KB of memory depth.
