Introduction This quick start guide provides the basic information, front panel functions and general specifications of Agilent U1600B Series handheld digital oscilloscopes. The U1600B Series can also function as a digital multimeter (DMM) and data logger. With its 4.5- inch LCD color display, it is capable of clearly distinguishing waveforms from two channels.
Getting Started To Inspect Package Contents Inspect and verify the following items for the standard purchase of U1602B or U1604B, and any optional accessories you may have Standard Item and Accessories Handheld digital oscilloscope 2. Power cable 3. Ni- MH battery pack, 7.2 V 4. AC adapter 5. Two scope probes (10:1) CAT III 600 V 6. DMM test lead 7. Hook Clip 8. Ground alligator clip 9. Medium jaw alligator clip 10. USB cable 11.

To Charge a Battery To Perform Self-Calibration Upon delivery of the unit, the rechargeable battery is required to be fully charged for approximately 25 hours with the designated Agilent AC adapter. Ensure that you have the correct line power cord. The AC adapter converts input line voltages ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC to output voltage 12 VDC. To ensure the scope is operating properly, perform the self- calibration. Before proceeding to the next step, ensure the scope passes self- calibration.
To Adjust Contrast of Display To Select Language for Quick Help Open User menu Open User menu Open Display menu Open Utility menu Select MORE 1/2 page menu Select MORE 1/4 page menu Enter once to release the fixed contrast value Select language (English/French/Italian/ Portuguese/German/Spanish/Korean/ Japanese/Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese) Turn rotary switch clockwise to reduce brightness (contrast value shows increment from 20 to 79) and vice versa Enter once to fix the contrast value
Scope Screen Display Agilent U1600B Series offers a 320×240 color LCD display. Figure 1 Oscilloscope display Figure 2 Multimeter display Table 1 Descriptions of the handheld digital oscilloscope main display No.
Scope Connection Configuration Connect the scope in either single or dual channels with scope probes as shown in figure 3.
Meter Connection Configuration The U1600B Series offers high precision, rugged auto ranging in true RMS with analog bar graph display. Enter Meter mode to select Volt Meter, Ohm Meter or Auxiliary Meter. Refer to Figure 4 for meter measurement connection. N O TE Auto ranging is set as the default mode for all voltage and resistance measurements. To vary measurement range manually, press Autoscale button to enable manual ranging and select the preference range by pressing the same button.
Cursor Measurement Use cursor function to obtain a precise and accurate measurement in voltage and time at any desired point of a waveform. To enter cursor mode, press and hold the Measure button. To navigate cursor in a waveform, use rotary switch to move the horizontal or vertical cursor and press rotary switch to set the cursor position.
Save/Recall Setup and Waveform To enter Save/Recall mode, press and hold the Run/Stop button. This function allows you to save up to 10 waveforms and configuration settings into the unit’s internal memory or an external USB flash memory device (optional).
Trigger Menu Pattern Trigger Sub Menu More 1/3 page More 2/3 page More 3/3 page Pulse Trigger More 1/2 page More 2/2 page Video Trigger More 1/2 page More 2/2 page Description Input 1 Logic To select input logic 1 as CH1 High or Low and CH2 High or Low Input 1 Level To set trigger level for Manual, TTL, ECL or Set to 50%.
Automatic Measurements The following automatic measurements can be accessed by pressing the Measure button. Up to four measurement menus with 22 measurement options can be selected by turning rotary switch. You can activate the individual softkey and press the rotary switch to set the measurement type.
