Keysight U1600 Series
Handheld Digital Oscilloscopes
Data Sheet
Introduction
Delivering more functionality and performance with a handheld
digital oscilloscope
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. U1600 Series handheld digital oscilloscope has a
4.5-inch LCD color display, which helps to clearly distinguish waveforms between two
channels. This U1600 Series provides a high performance troubleshooting and quality
assurance tool for technical professionals in the installation, maintenance, service,
and automotive industries. The U1600 Series consists of four models: U1602B – 20
MHz oscilloscope and U1604B – 40 MHz oscilloscope. Each model has a 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 the U1604B model) to perform quick
waveform analyses in both time and frequency domains.
The built-in 6000 resolution count true RMS digital multimeter (DMM) comes with an
the standard versions of the U1600 Series models also contain a data
logger function.
The series’ latest oscilloscopes, the U1602B and U1604B come in vivid orange cases,
offering capabilities and functions equivalent to the U1600A Series.
A scope, true RMS DMM, a real-time data logger in one instrument
The U1600 Series is a robust, high performance and reliable handheld waveform
and meter measurement tool for today’s challenging industrial environments. Not
only do these instruments provide fully featured oscilloscope functions, but also a
6,000-count true RMS DMM with real-time data logger. The DMM measurement
functions include a voltmeter (for DC voltage, AC voltage and true RMS AC + DC
voltage measurements), an ohmmeter (for 2-wire resistance, capacitance, diode and

Clearly distinguish your waveform
The U1600 Series models come with a color display, which allows
you to quickly and clearly identify your signal between two
– makes it much easier for you to view more pieces of information
at one glance.
Capture signal deviations, glitches and
dropouts effectively
This instrument provides a real-time sampling rate of up to 200
MSa/s. Use the U1600 Series to capture both instantaneous and
repetitive signal anomalies effectively.
High-precision zoom-in capability in
deep memory
With 125 kilobytes of physical memory, you can capture non-
repeating signals at a higher sampling rate over a wider time
base. With up to 125 000 points recording length, you can quickly
zoom in the segment of interest and uncover even the most subtle
details of the signal at a given time-base setting.
Isolate and analyze the signal you want
to see
that allow you to isolate and capture the condition you want to
characterize. The advanced triggering function includes edge,
pulse width, pattern, and video signal triggering, giving you the
quickly distinguish and identify your signals and observe signal activity.
Before Zoom
After Zoom
Figure 2 With up to 125 000 points recording length, use the zoom-in function to
magnify a signal to the segment of your interest and scrutinize subtle details of
your signals.

FFT (U1604B only) and Dual Waveform
Math functions for waveform analysis
Besides of the standard Dual Waveform Math (DWM) function in
U1600 Series, the U1604B model is equipped with a FFT (Fast
Fourier Transform) function. This function allows you to view the
waveform in a frequency domain using four windowing techniques
(Rectangular, Hanning, Hamming, Black-Harris). Use the DWM
function to perform math functions for signal addition and
subtraction from multiple channels.
Easy, straightforward connectivity
the PC Link application software that caters for data collection,
storage and documentation needs from instrument via USB 2.0
full-speed connection. This PC Link application software is
available for you to control the instrument remotely from a PC,
retrieve your waveform and print it using a connected printer.
and setup, these can be done via:-
– USB 2.0 Full Speed Client for PC connectivity (Standard
Option)
–
waveform/setup (Option 001)
Built-in multi-lingual Quick Help menu
provides instant assistance
Need assistance while operating the instrument? The built-in
multi-lingual Quick Help menu helps to minimize downtime in the
event that you need help to set up scope and DMM functions. The
supported languages include English, German, Italian, Spanish,
Chinese, and Japanese.
Save and recall waveform and setup
memories capability
the internal memory and recalled at any time for future use and
reference, this feature can only be done on the instrument and
Log data for any DMM measurement
The sophisticated logger mode allows you to record and
consolidate a sequence of data points for data plotting purposes.
Figure 3 The U1600 Series comes equipped with DWM features, allowing you to
perform spectrum analyses and evaluate signal additions and subtractions from
multiple channels.
