Digital Oscilloscope

Data Sheet

Retool your expectations in the world’s first

handheld scope with three viewing modes on a

VGA TFT LCD display

Agilent’s U1610A/U1620A oscilloscope takes troubleshooting and maintenance

task to a whole new level by being the world’s first handheld scope with three

viewing modes on a VGA TFT LCD display. Whether you’re working in a poorly

lit environment, or under the glaring sun, the revolutionary display ensures that

you can analyze waveforms effortlessly under all lighting conditions by 3 select-

able viewing modes (indoor, outdoor and night vision mode). Coupled with

2 Mpts memory depth, it enables you to capture long, non-repeating signals

with excellent zooming capabilities onto selective glitches. Further complement-

ing your viewing experience is the 5.7 inch screen that allows signal overviews

to be analyzed on a wider viewing area.

Features

• 5.7-inch VGA TFT LCD display

with 3 selectable viewing

modes (indoor, outdoor and

night vision)

• 2 Mpts memory depth and

2 GSa/s sampling rate allows

detailed analysis of captured

glitches

• 100/200 MHz bandwidth with

two isolated channels

• 10,000-count resolution on

DMM display

• Channel-to-channel isolation

with CAT III 600 V safety

ratings

• Data logging capability to PC

5.7-inch VGA display with 3 selectable viewing modes

Night vision mode

The night vision mode is tailored to

be viewable under subdued lighting

by enabling high contrast levels

between the screen background and

waveforms. With a single press of

button, this mode is activated and

the screen automatically adjusts with

proper colour correction-creating

clear contrasts between the wave-

forms against the dark environment.

This mode is useful when measuring

high speed signals, particularly in

non-repetitive signals.

Visualizing electrical waveforms has never been in such clarity. Our U1610A/U1620A oscilloscope comes with a 5.7-inch

VGA TFT LCD display that enables clear viewing of measurements on-site and on the field. With the option of up to three

viewing modes, users can now view waveforms under all lighting conditions, including in indoor, outdoor or dark environ-

ments. All three viewing modes have predefined contrast levels for customized lighting conditions and optimized battery

life.

Indoor mode

The indoor mode has high contrast

and brightness levels to clearly

distinguish waveforms under an

indoor light environment. Engineered

with a VGA TFT LCD screen, users

can now view the display across wide

viewing angles for more efficient

troubleshooting task.

Outdoor mode

When performing field work in an

outdoor environment, users can easily

switch to this viewing mode via a set

of accessible soft keys. This mode

works in an anti-glare mechanism; it

filters out excessive sunlight, hence

reducing the risk of misreading or

misinterpreting measurements.

2 Mpts memory depth and 2 GSa/s sampling rate allows detailed analysis of

captured glitches

A good oscilloscope must be accompanied with even better specifications for an in-depth analysis of captured glitches.

With deep memory of 2 Mpts and sampling rate of 2 GSa/s, non-repeating signals can be captured over a wider time

base. What’s more, its dual window zoom feature allows you to work more productively by simultaneously viewing signals

captured over a period of time and zooming into the most subtle details.

Channel-to-channel isolation with CAT III 600 V safety ratings

The U1610/U1620A extends the maximum input rating to cater for high voltage measurement and transient voltages which

are recordable via a handheld oscilloscope. Equipped with the most robust isolation topology, technicians can now mea-

sure signals in the field and perform floating measurements. This type of isolation enables each channel to be individually

isolated from one another and from other non-isolated system components.
