Improve your power measurement throughput Improve your power measurement throughput with the world’s fastest USB thermocouple power sensors. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. U8480 Series USB thermocouple power sensors come with a measurement speed of 900 readings/second and power linearity of less than 0.8%, providing high accuracy and stability to help you make average power measurements quickly and confidently.
Fast measurement speed Gamma correction The U8480 Series USB thermocouple power sensors offer a measurement speed of 900 readings/second (in fast mode), making them the world’s fastest USB thermocouple power sensors. This feature is especially important in high volume manufacturing, where fast measurement speed is essential to maximize production throughput and increase productivity.
Performance specifications Specification definitions There are two types of product specifications: –– Warranted specifications are specifications which are covered by the product warranty and apply over a range of 0 to 55 °C unless otherwise noted. Warranted specifications include measurement uncertainty calculated with a 95% confidence –– Characteristic specifications are specifications that are not warranted. They describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product.
