Agilent Technologies has launched a family of affordable USB-based instruments designed for electronic functional test and troubleshooting applications. The Agilent U2700A family includes oscilloscopes, a function generator, source/measure unit, and switch matrix. These modular, stand-alone instruments can each operate separately or work mounted in a compatible chassis with other modules. The new product line includes the 100-MHz U2701A and 200-MHz U2702A USB modular oscilloscopes, with sampling rates up to 1 GSamples/s; the U2761A 20-MHz USB modular function generator, which can produce sine, square, triangular, pulse, ramp, exponential, modulated and arbitrary waveforms for electronic functional testing and electronic troubleshooting; the three-channel U2722A USB modular source/measure unit; and the U2751A USB modular switch matrix, a four-by-eight, two-wire design with 32 channels that provide additional test points for functional tests. As Ee Huei-Sin, Vice-President of Agilent's Basic Instruments Division, notes: "Our family of USB-based modular instruments offers the flexibility to arrange and rearrange configurations to fit changing measurement needs -- easily, quickly, and affordably." The USB instruments are bundled with Agilent Modular Instruments Measurement Manager software for ease of use with a flexible graphical user interface. Bundled IVI drivers allow users to program with Agilent VEE, C#, C++, Microsoft(R) Visual Basic, and LabVIEW.
