Keysight Mobile Meter is a free Android application software that allows
an Android device to connect, control and perform up to 3 multimeter
measurements. Without the need to be physically present at various points,
users can now extend their reach to two or three places. This solution allows
you to make measurements from a safe distance, eliminates the need to walk
back-and-forth between measure target and control points, and monitors
multiple measurements simultaneously. Achieve higher work productivity
when you use the U1177A with your Keysight handheld digital multimeters.
Monitor up to three multimeter measurements at
the same time with Keysight Mobile Meter

Data logging is an important function for industrial users to capture data
streams or plotting trending graphs. These data and graphs are used for analysis
to identify intermittent behavior or detect drifts. Keysight Mobile Logger is the
free Android application software that logs data and provides trending graphs
from Keysight handheld digital multimeters. Keysight Mobile Logger offers an
array of extended functions such as sending e-mail or Short Message Service
(SMS) automatically, and pan and zoom function via the Android device’s
touch screen. Alternatively, data logging and monitoring activities can also be
performed at the comfort of one’s Personal Computer (PC) via a downloadable
Keysight GUI data logger software.
Perform data logging with up to three
multimeters – wirelessly and simultaneously!
