Agilent Technologies Introduces Handheld Digital Multimeters that Simplify Daily Tasks; Enhances Handheld LCR Meters
Communiqué de presse de AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES 
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced a new line of handheld digital multimeters and extended the capabilities of its handheld LCR meters. On
the go, the U1230 Series DMMs provide features that simplify everyday
tasks even when working in dark and noisy conditions. On the bench, the
U1730C Series LCR meters extend the U1730B models with greater
measurement accuracy, broader frequency coverage and wider test ranges. The
new U1231A, U1232A and U1233A models are 3½-digit, 6,000-count DMMs
designed for installation and maintenance work in electrical, HVAC and
utility settings. In dark spaces or at night, a built-in flashlight lets
the user illuminate the work area while making measurements. In noisy
environments, the U1230 Series enhances continuity measurements with a
unique combination of alerts: loud beeps and a blinking backlight
display. These DMMs provide non-contacting AC voltage detection, helping
users safely detect and avoid hot wires, and alerting them with
beeping/blinking alerts. All models are housed in compact, ergonomic
cases and have an easily accessible control dial. The
U1731C, U1732C and U1733C LCR meters let engineers and technicians
perform quick, basic measurements at their convenience. Compared to
earlier U1730B models, noteworthy enhancements include selectable test
frequencies up to 100 kHz (U1733C) and 0.2 percent measurement accuracy.
The U1730C Series also includes automatic component identification,
which displays the device type and a detailed analysis of parameters
such as total impedance, DC resistance and equivalent series resistance. “We’re
constantly looking for new ways to simplify our customers’ day-to-day
work, whether they do it at a bench or in dark, noisy conditions,” said
Ee Huei Sin, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Basic
Instrument Division. “As we continue to apply our long tradition of
innovation to these instruments, we hope engineers and technicians will
begin to retool their expectations of handhelds.” Availability Agilent U1230 Series handheld DMMs and the U1730C Series handheld LCR meters range are currently available worldwide.
