Agilent U1620A review

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi all,

 

I'll start my review as usual with the basic hands on and package content with some photos included, I will continue later on with more usage details etc.

 

 

Here is the first view of the nicely packed box after it arrived.

image

 

I do always prefer to have the contents padded on each side but the package was marked fragile so it should be safe.

image

 

 

Next box image

image

 

Product box itself opened, neatly packed and the meter is very well cushioned.

image

 

 

The paperwork, calibration certificate is included.

image

 

 

Overview of the rest of the box contents. The powercable is old UK/South Africa style if I'm not mistaken and not very usable here, but as it is a standard 3-prong cable that is not a problem.

image

 

 

The heart of the box itself in it's comfortable cradle... First impression: It's bigger than I expected image

 

image

 

The meter on hand, the strap is quite comfortable.

image

 

 

Look of the buttons, nicely placed, not too crowded. The buttons feel good, they can be pressed from any angle and work fine. Plus they make a comforting "click"-sound when pressed so you really feel that the button was actually pressed image

image

 

 

View of the top connectors, the trigger input is also used for calibrating the probes.

image

 

 

Side port cover and locking cable hole.

image

 

Rear of the meter

image

 

The rear of the meter with the stand "leg" out. The latch that holds the leg is quite stiff, the leg bent quite a lot until it lets go properly. Probably it will get looser in use.

image

 

The meter with the stand open. Sits in a good comfortable angle.

image

 

The view with the stand open.

image

 

The hand-strap tightening system, easy to use for sure and well adjustable.

image

 

The side USB and power connectors under the cover, well protected by the thick rubber.

image

 

The power supply, hefty piece.

image

 

Instructions for the power supply image

 

image

 

BNC to probe adapter for adjusting the probes.The thickness of the ground side is a bit too much for the ground alligator-clips of the probes so it easily slips off.

image

 

DMM side test leads

image

 

Package opened. Everything is plugged with good quality banana connectors and the wires are nice and flexible, good quality stuff.

image

 

Two packs of 1:10 probes wer included.

image

 

Package opened, again very good quality.

image

 

And parts put together.

image

 

And paperwork of the probes, first side.

image

 

Second side.

image

 

 

 

Clip from the manual (http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/U1610-90040.pdf):

 

Before using the handheld scope for the first time, fully charge the

battery for at least 5 hours, with the handheld scope turned off, using

the AC/DC adapter provided.

The power key will turn constant yellow when the battery is fully

charged.

 

Looks quite green to me.

image

 

 

 

 

Ok that's the first part, more to follow of course with the actual usage part of the review.
