RS Components has been appointed as the authorised distributor for Agilent's new InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-Series oscilloscopes in Southeast Asia. The X-Series oscilloscopes incorporate breakthrough technology that allows advanced capabilities to be included while keeping the product affordable. The oscilloscopes offer mixed signal capability, software applications, and upgradability in line with changing customer requirements. One of the major advances allows the devices to have the fastest update rates in their class, with up to 1,000,000 waveforms per second. Another well-received improvement is the ability to upgrade the devices post-sale, enabling engineers to purchase today with the option for added capabilities as their performance needs evolve.
RS Components has also been appointed the master distributor for Agilent's high performance handheld DMMs in Singapore and the Philippines. These handheld DMMs are designed for faster, more accurate measurements to minimise false readings. Features on some of the models include a built-in torchlight for low-light situations, improved user interface, increased shock protection, brighter and higher contrast OLED (Organic LED) display technology, non-contact voltage detection and visual alerts for noisy environments. RS Components is also the authorised distributor for the handheld DMMs in Malaysia and Thailand.
Serene Tan, Head of Product Management, Asia Pacific, RS Components, said: "We are excited to extend our relationship with Agilent in Southeast Asia and add their new range of test and measurement products to our already extensive product offerings. We believe that these new products will meet greater demand from engineers for better and more reliable tools in tough and rugged industrial environments. Customers in Southeast Asia can now look forward to our latest test and measurement offerings to address their daily work challenges."
