Agilent Technologies has launched the Agilent U8480 Series, said to be the world’s fastest USB thermocouple power sensors. Based on the same front-end design as the Agilent 8480 and N8480 Series power sensors, the new model offers improved specifications, including a measurement speed of 400 readings per second, 10 times faster than the legacy series.
The U8480 Series provides the best accuracy in Agilent’s power meter and sensor portfolio and comes with a power linearity of less than 0,8%. As Agilent’s first power sensor with the ability to measure down to DC, it covers a broader range of test applications.
DC-range measurements are frequently used for source calibration, as power measurement references and for testing select electromagnetic compatibility. With USB functionality, U8480 Series power sensors plug directly in to PCs or USB-enabled Agilent instruments, so power can be measured without an external power meter or power supply.
With their built-in trigger function, the thermocouple power sensors give test engineers the ability to synchronise measurement capture without needing an external module. The internal calibration function saves time and reduces wear and tear on connectors. These power sensors also come bundled with Agilent’s N1918A Power Panel software.
