After playing with the Keysight N9322C for a few days I have garnered sufficient skill to make this full featured instrument reveal just a fraction of its capability. A far more involved exploration will be posted in the Road Test review sectio...
This blog post is part of a collection, click here for links to the entire set, and a review of the products. The review Keysight (was Hewlett-Packard, then Agilent, now Keysight) SA arrived today. I didn’t get much of a chance to try it out, bu...

While waiting for a calibrated microphone to arrive, I thought I'd try some simple audio spectrum tests using an Agilent 33622A and an Android spectrum analyzer app, called Speedy Spectrum, running on an Asus Nexus 7 tablet. My intent was to pl...
My recent work with Dave testing Fluke Connect inspired me to take apart the Fluke 3000FC DMM. I wanted to see the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) parts and see how much power BLE consumes in Fluke Connect. In this post I try to reveal the goo...

OK, Great feedback from the Sunshine test for these multimeter's from Agilent, I did not have time when shooting the previous video to do an indoor version too, so now I have As you will see the OLED display wins hands down regarding visibility ...
A few days ago I watched an excellent Agilent WEB Cast regarding sampling signals using ADC devices basically. This was focused around Agilent Equipment but the principals presented some very interesting possibilities that could be applied to any ele...
I happened to be out back filming content for my summer project, tThe Electronic Referee and I needed to check a voltage on my test rig, I had a choice of an OLED meter or the LCD I decided to video a quick test to see which is most usable in th...

Fluke Connect With A Single User:CJ and Dave wanted to get to know the Fluke Connect gear pretty well before trying to collaborate on their joint project. They start with If the units don’t work for the single user case for real measurements, they wo...
After making an initial post about my research plans for psychoacoustic masking and audio steganography using the Agilent 33622A, I left for a month long trip to Europe and Iceland. I'm back now with plenty of interesting travel experiences and...
If you are a fan of the show you have seen Ben frequently use his Agilent handheld oscilloscope to troubleshoot projects. He was curious what he could do with some of the other scopes out there so The Ben Heck show hit the road to the Madison A...
In the previous blog I explained the creation of complex RF digital waveforms on the 33622A generator. I thought that it would be nice to use these signals in a sort of real world scenario, and maybe push it a little bit further. So, I devised a...
We don't know many people who are big fans of the standard Test and Measurement user interface, especially with Digital Multimeters (DMMs). Sure, there are some products out there that are taking advantage of tablets and cell phones, but they can...
Hello everyone, One of the uses the Agilent 33622A can have, is that of a signal source in an automated test system. Automated test systems are used on the production lines to test for defects, i...
DC measurements Although the PA1000 is touted as a Single Phase Power Analyser I tried it out as a DC Power Analyser and it seems to work quite well.My tests also were a good excuse of using the Alligator Clips rather than the Breakout Box. ...
After creating baseband IQ data, the next step in my test setup was to take these signals into a IQ modulator, which was supposed to produce RF modulated QAM signal in band between 20-65 MHz, in compliance with DOCSIS 2.0/3.0 standard, used in cable ...
