Agilent U1701B Handheld Capacitance Meter Data Sheet Agilent handheld capacitance meters expand Agilent’s portfolio of handheld tools into electronics assembly and passive components troubleshooting. Agilent now offers its handheld capacitance meter, the U1701B, providing extra capabilities and functionalities. Features • 11,000 counts resolution • Dual display with backlight • Wide range: 1000 pF to 199.99 mF • Compare mode with 25 sets of High/Low limit settings • Tolerance mode: 1%, 5%, 10% and 20% Efficient capacitor sorting With up to 25 sets of High/Low limits that you can store and choose from in compare mode, the U1701B lets you breeze through capacitor sorting without the need to set and reset the standard reference for different capacitors-under-test. Uncompromised quality and reliability The handheld capacitance meter comes in a robust overmold and tested to stringent industrial standards. Each capacitance meter is also sealed with a three-year warranty and the assurance that you can test your components with confidence. The U1701B also comes with other handy functions, including tolerance and relative modes, Hold, Min/Max/ Average recordings, and PC data logging. • Relative mode • Hold and Min/Max/Average recordings • Data logging to PC with optional IR-to-USB cable Figure 1.

U1701B front view 2 U1701B Electrical Specifications Accuracy is given as ± (% of output + counts of least significant digit) at 23 °C ± 5 °C, with relative humidity less than 80% R.H. For example, 1% ±10 = 1% of reading + 10 counts of least significant digit.
