Keysight U2542A USB Data Acquisition Module

Overview

The Keysight U2542A is a multifunction USB data acquisition module that provides simultaneous analog input acquisition, digital I/O, and analog output capabilities. It can operate as a digital multimeter, oscilloscope with triggering, or waveform generator, offering flexibility for diverse measurement and stimulus applications. Compatible with development environments including Agilent VEE, MATLAB, LabVIEW, and Visual Studio, the U2542A supports high sampling rates per channel suitable for transient signal analysis and phase-sensitive measurements.

Key Features

• Simultaneous analog input acquisition with high sampling rates
• Polling mode operation for digital multimeter functionality
• Continuous mode with simple triggering for oscilloscope operation
• Predefined or arbitrary waveform output for closed-loop feedback and stimulus applications
• Digital I/O channels for control of switches, relays, and solenoids
• Burst mode for simulating simultaneous acquisition
• Includes Agilent Measurement Manager (AMM) software with command logger
• Compatible with optional U2901A or U2902A terminal blocks

Applications

• Transient signal analysis requiring high sampling rates
• Phase-sensitive measurements and simultaneous data acquisition
• Closed-loop control and feedback systems
• Laboratory bench measurements as a digital multimeter
• Waveform generation and stimulus testing
