Agilent Technologies has introduced the U1253A handheld digital multimeter (DMM) which features an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display.
For on-the-go and benchtop applications, the OLED readout provides a 2000:1 contrast ratio, a 160-degree viewing angle, smoothed fonts and a 'large display' mode to ensure crystal-clear indoor viewing.
The DMM expands the company's U1250 series of handheld DMMs. Designed to simplify electronic troubleshooting and validation, these high-performance instruments enable engineers and technicians to complete their day-to-day tasks without being confined to the bench.
All three U1250 Series DMMs provide benefits that help simplify analysis, accelerate glitch detection and simplify probing of hard-to-reach points:
- Precision: Key specifications are 4.5-digit resolution with 50,000-count full-scale dual display and basic accuracy of up to 0.025%. All offer simultaneous measurements and provide the flexibility to quickly perform validation tests, tolerance checks and marginal failure troubleshooting.
- Versatility: Beyond basic DMM functions, the models include capabilities such as temperature measurements, automated data logging (with the optional PC interface cable) and, in the U1252A, a 20 MHz frequency counter and a programmable square-wave generator.
- Accessories: The U1251A and U1252A include, at no extra cost, a wide range of essential accessories: alligator clips; fine-tip test probes; SMT and mini grabbers; and a soft carrying case. The U1253A includes a set of standard test leads and alligator clips.
The U1253A is available now worldwide.
