Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has
announced the Agilent U2020 X-series, the world's fastest USB power sensors.
With the peak and average power measurement capabilities of a power meter,
these compact high-performance sensors allow engineers to test devices faster
and with greater efficiency and accuracy.
The product's measurement speed (3500
readings per second or higher), along with its internal zero and calibration
function, enables users to maximize test efficiency and reduce the cost of test
in areas such as high-volume component manufacturing, where every second and
each measurement counts.
Agilent's U2020 X-series sensors also
come with built-in trigger functions. The trigger-in function allows accurate
triggering of small signals close to the signal noise floor. (This is
especially important when analyzing complex signals with very low power outputs.)
The trigger-out port allows users to perform data logging while the
video-output feature gives users the flexibility to use the USB sensors with an
oscilloscope as an alternative method to display pulse signals and measure
pulse parameters.
With a compact USB form factor, U2020
X-series sensors help technicians and engineers test faster and with greater
ease. These sensors operate without needing a power meter or external power
supply, making them space efficient in manufacturing lines. The sensors also provide
a portable, lightweight solution for field applications such as base-station
maintenance. And the N1918A Option 100 Power Analyzer PC license key-bundled
with each sensor-gives R&D engineers powerful software that performs
complex pulse analysis similar to a power meter.
"The Agilent U2020 X-series marks
a significant breakthrough with the fastest measurement speed in a USB power
sensor," said Ee Huei Sin, vice president, Agilent's Basic Instruments
Division. "These compact and high-performance USB sensors help users meet
the growing test challenges they face each day while offering a cost-effective
alternative to traditional bench solutions."
