Two new modules join the 19 modules already offered to make up a high-performance family of eight-slot mainframe switches with built-in DMMs.
Analyser options appeal to comms designers
New capabilities extend the analysis power of Agilent's signal and spectrum analysers, enabling them to address even the most difficult application challenges.
It enables users to observe open/close switch behaviours in the presence of intermittent signals.
Users can also easily gauge the extent of transformer heating or the efficiency of refrigeration systems with the DMM's dual and differential temperature capabilities.
This, coupled with its uA measurement function, is especially handy for troubleshooting HVAC equipment and sensors.
When maintaining AC motors or troubleshooting circuit breakers that trip prematurely, the Agilent U1240A series helps users quickly verify the presence of harmonics that may have caused device overheating.
With its internal memory, the DMM lets users conveniently perform data collection on-the-go for later analysis.
"With the addition of the Agilent U1240A series, we now offer a wider selection to fit customers' applications and budgets across electronics troubleshooting, installation and maintenance", said Ee Huei Sin, Vice President and General Manager of Agilent's Basic Instruments Division.
The Agilent U1240A series of handheld digital multimeters comprises two models: the U1241A and U1242A.
They are durable, safe and easy to use.
These DMMs simplify installation and maintenance by providing a broad range of measurement functions, including voltage, capacitance and temperature.
Key features include 10,000-count resolution, dual display, dual-intensity backlight, dual and differential temperature, harmonic ratio, a switch counter and data logging.
The Agilent U1240A series also provides wider usage for higher resistance measurements (up to 100Mohm) and lower current measurements (down to 0.1uA).
