Retool your expectations in the world’s first VGA
display handheld oscilloscope with two isolated
channels
The U1610A/U1620A is the world’s first handheld oscilloscope with a VGA
display. This 100/200 MHz handheld oscilloscope offers a floating measurement
capability with two CAT III 600 V isolated channels. With up to 2 GSa/s sampling rate and 2 Mpts memory depth, it captures more waveforms from signals
such as pulse width modulated circuit, in rush, transient, and motor start up
sequences. The benchtop-like display and dual window zoom allow you to easily
identify problem areas and zoom in for more detailed analysis. Now, you can
view signals in detail and detect glitches easily.
5.7-inch VGA display with 3 selectable viewing modes
Visualizing electrical waveforms has never been in such clarity. Our U1610A/U1620A oscilloscope comes with a 5.7-inch
VGA TFT LCD display that enables clear viewing of measurements on-site and on the field. With the option of up to three
viewing modes, users can now view waveforms under all lighting conditions, including in indoor, outdoor or dark environments. All three viewing modes have predefined contrast levels for customized lighting conditions and optimized battery
life.
Indoor mode
The indoor mode has high contrast
and brightness levels to clearly
distinguish waveforms under an
indoor light environment. Engineered
with a VGA TFT LCD screen, users
can now view the display across wide
viewing angles for more efficient
troubleshooting task.
Figure 1. Indoor mode for clear
distinct readings
Outdoor mode
When performing field work in an
outdoor environment, users can easily
switch to this viewing mode via a set
of accessible soft keys. This mode
works in an anti-glare mechanism; it
filters out excessive sunlight, hence
reducing the risk of misreading or
misinterpreting measurements.
Figure 2. Outdoor mode that is
sunlight viewable
Night vision mode
The night vision mode is tailored to
be viewable under subdued lighting
by enabling high contrast levels
between the screen background and
waveforms. With a single press of
button, this mode is activated and
the screen automatically adjusts with
proper colour correction-creating
clear contrasts between the waveforms against the dark environment.
This mode is useful when measuring
high speed signals, particularly in
non-repetitive signals.
Figure 3. Night vision mode for
performing tasks in a poorly lit
environment
2 Mpts memory depth and 2 GSa/s sampling rate allows detailed analysis of
captured glitches
A good oscilloscope must be accompanied with even better specifications for an in-depth analysis of captured glitches.
With deep memory of 2 Mpts and sampling rate of 2 GSa/s, non-repeating signals can be captured over a wider time
base. What’s more, its dual window zoom feature allows you to work more productively by simultaneously viewing signals
captured over a period of time and zooming into the most subtle details.
Channel-to-channel isolation with CAT III 600 V safety ratings
The U1610/U1620A extends the maximum input rating to cater for high voltage measurement and transient voltages which
are recordable via a handheld oscilloscope. Equipped with the most robust isolation topology, technicians can now measure signals in the field and perform floating measurements. This type of isolation enables each channel to be individually
isolated from one another and from other non-isolated system components.
Up to 10 selectable languages programmed in the scope
The U1610A/U1620A is programmed with up to 10 selectable languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean) on the User Interface (UI) system and help menu.
The diverse range of languages offered here gives users the choice to operate the unit in the language that they are most
comfortable in.
