Intended to provide improved precision and reliability, the portfolio includes Keysight’s power supply, waveform generator, digital mustimeter, and oscilloscope, advanced instruments that have been comprehensively tested to meet and exceed industry and safety standards, such as ISO/IEC17025, IEC61010, and CSA.

With electronic designs becoming increasingly complex, with additional input and output variables, strict interoperability requirements, and rigorous conformance standards, basic bench instruments need to deliver improved power, expanded channel capacity, and enhanced precision.

Development engineers rely on tools to deliver this so as to be able to perform numerous daily measurements that will enable them to quickly draw meaningful insights and make decisions based on precise measurements.

Smart Bench Essentials Plus provides accurate and precise digital multimers, high signal integrity waveform generators, reliable and responsive DC power supplies, and a very low noise floor oscilloscope. These solutions are designed for lower noise performance, suitable for development engineers who need to design, test, troubleshoot, and qualify electronics designs.

According to Keysight, key benefits of Smart Bench Essential Plus include:

Minimised measurement errors and precise results: Powered by Keysight Truevolt technology, these solutions reduce errors from real world factors, delivering improved insights. In addition, the custom ASIC and 14-bit ADC deliver precision and low-noise performance measurements.

Ensure product quality and compliance: The test instruments are designed and rigorously tested to meet ISO/IEC 17025, IEC61010, and CSA international standards to ensure engineers can develop quality products with precision and reliability.

Improved productivity: Features visually intuitive, colour-coordinated interfaces and standardised menus for ease of use. Built-in graphical charting tools simplify visualisation and analysis of test results, while including software streamlines configuration, control, and automation to improve validation time.

According to Carol Leh, Vice President, Electronic Industrial Solutions Group Centre of Excellence at Keysight, “R&D engineers face increasing complexity, requiring not only more accurate insights, but tools which can streamline workflows. At Keysight we have designed an integrated solution that can meet this demand, with automation at the core, providing ease of use and shorter time to value. This elevated set of instruments, equipped with proven pro-level measurement technologies, delivers precision and reliability, helping our customers to develop quality products faster.”
