Keysight's new test solutions exceed industry and safety standards, enabling engineers to safeguard the integrity of designs. They feature built-in graphical charting tools, intuitive interfaces, and standardised menus for quickly uncovering critical insights.
Available from APC Technology Group, Keysight's Smart Bench Essentials Plus range is a next-generation portfolio of core bench instruments designed to deliver improved precision and reliability. The new portfolio includes Keysight’s power supply, waveform generator, digital multimeter, and oscilloscope, advanced instruments that are comprehensively tested to meet and exceed industry and safety standards, such as ISO/IEC17025, IEC61010, and CSA.
Electronic designs are increasingly complex, with additional input and output variables, strict interoperability requirements, and rigorous conformance standards. This complexity means basic bench instruments must deliver improved power, expanded channel capacity and enhanced precision. Development engineers rely on tools to deliver this, in order to perform numerous daily measurements that will enable them to quickly draw meaningful insights and make decisions based on precise measurements.
The new Keysight Smart Bench Essentials Plus portfolio meets this challenge with accurate and precise digital multimeters, high signal integrity waveform generators, reliable and responsive DC power supplies, and a very low noise floor oscilloscope. The solutions are designed for lower noise performance, suitable for development engineers who need to design, test, troubleshoot, and qualify electronics designs.
