Introduction

The Agilent U1701A/U1701B Dual Display Handheld Capacitance

Meter has a bi- directional (full duplex) communication capability that

enables data transfer from the meter to a PC. The required accessory

for this communication capability is an optional IR- USB cable, to be

used with an application software that is downloadable from the

Agilent Web site.

The Data Logger for Agilent Handheld Capacitance Meter is an

application software that is targeted to extend the capabilities of the

U1701A/U1701B Dual Display Handheld Capacitance Meter. The

software provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) that allows

you to perform basic controls and measurements through the PC. The

installation of this application software will not affect the electronic

characteristics, specifications, functions, and operations of the

instrument.

For instrument set up and operation, please refer to the Agilent

U1701A Dual Display Handheld Capacitance Meter User's and Service

Guide, U1701- 90032 or Agilent U1701B Dual Display Handheld

Capacitance Meter User's and Service Guide, U1701- 90055.
