Introduction
This quick start guide provides the basic information, front panel functions and
general specifications of Agilent U1600A Series handheld digital oscilloscopes.
The U1600A Series can also function as a digital multimeter (DMM) and data
logger. With its 4.5- inch LCD color display, it is capable of clearly distinguishing
waveforms from two channels. The U1600A Series handheld digital oscilloscopes
are high performance troubleshooting tools in multi- industrial automation,
process control, facility maintenance and automotive- service industries. The
U1600A Series comprises two models: U1602A and U1604A, with 20 MHz and 40
MHz bandwidths, respectively. Both models are dual- channel scopes with real-
time sampling rate of up to 200 MSa/s. Users can use the Dual Waveform Math
(DWM) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) functions (in U1604A) to perform a
quick waveform analysis in both time and frequency domain. The U1600A Series
with built- in 6000- count resolution and true RMS comes with an auto range
function that allows users to perform quick and accurate DMM measurements.
Additionally, with data logger function, users can perform automatic data logging
for all DMM measurements.
