The Agilent U1250A Series handheld digital multimeter exceeds your expectations of a handheld digital multimeter by delivering more powerful features and performance to better meet the requirements of your applications.

The Agilent U1253A, expands your capabilities beyond typical DMM measurements to include data logging, 20-MHz frequency counter, and programmable square-wave generator; so you’d be able to perform more tests conveniently with one tool. Additionally, the U1253-A comes bundled with a complete set of accessories to equip you right from the start at no extra cost.

The U-1253-A is the world’s first OLED handheld DMM. You won’t have to squint to be sure you’re reading it right: On the go or on the bench, you’ll get crystal-clear viewing indoors, even in dark, off-angle situations.

With the U-1253A data logging capability, you can ensure that every reading gets recorded manually or at intervals you specify. Better yet: you can have virtually unlimited data logging saves when you connect any of the U1250 Series DMM to a PC with the optional IR-to-USB cable.In addition, the U1253:A Series lets you achieve greater confidence in your measurements with accurate true-RMS AC measurements, low DCV error rate of up to 0.025% and high-resolution display of 50,000 counts.
