DMM with OLED display

12 November 2008 Test & Measurement

Agilent has introduced the U1253A handheld digital multimeter (DMM), said to be the first DMM to use an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. For on-the-go and benchtop applications, the OLED readout provides a 2000:1 contrast ratio, a 160° viewing angle, smoothed fonts and a ‘large display’ mode to ensure crystal-clear indoor viewing.

The U1253A expands Agilent’s U1250 series of handheld DMMs, designed to simplify electronic troubleshooting and validation. All three DMMs in the range provide useful benefits that help simplify analysis, accelerate glitch detection and simplify probing of hard-to-reach points. They feature 4,5 digit resolution with 50 000 count full-scale dual display and basic accuracy of up to 0,025%. They also offer simultaneous measurements and provide the flexibility to quickly perform validation tests, tolerance checks and marginal-failure troubleshooting.

Beyond basic DMM functions, the models include capabilities such as temperature measurements, automated data-logging (with the optional PC-interface cable) and, in the U1252A, a 20 MHz frequency counter and a programmable square-wave generator.
