Keysight Delivers Graphical Interface With Integrated Data Management, Analysis

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has launched a portfolio of Smart Bench Essentials (SBE) lab bench products that deliver the power of four instruments, including a triple-output power supply, an arbitrary function generator, a digital multimeter and an oscilloscope, through one graphical interface offering integrated data management and analysis capabilities, company says.

Keysight’s SBE lab bench products are instruments developed for the design and test of products in manufacturing and R&D, offering a compact and stackable design that is ideal for small manufacturing businesses.

Keysight’s SBE lab bench products can be used in modern university teaching labs that require an enhanced environment conducive to sharing and maximizing learning. 

Keysight’s PathWave BenchVue application software complements the SBE series enabling customer to configure instruments quickly, while operating on the same PC screen to test device under test. It stores data on a PC and exports it in standard readable formats for post-analysis work and report generation.

Keysight’s SBE series also offer the optional PathWave Remote Access Lab software and the PathWave Lab Manager software to enhance the lab experience and productivity. Keysight’s PathWave Remote Access Lab software enables university teaching labs to transition to online learning seamlessly. It allows students to remotely access the lab setup and perform lab work through the web browser. Keysight’s PathWave Lab Manager software works with the Smart Bench Essential series instruments to manage lab assets effectively and productively.

“All four instruments have a consistent look and feel, the same graphical user interface and connectivity,” says Christopher Cain, vice president of Electronic Industrial Products at Keysight Technologies. “The setup of four test instruments connected through the powerful PathWave application software allows engineers to focus on their insights and innovation, not managing their test instruments.”

Keysight’s SBE series is a combination of hardware and software that accelerates an educator's teaching experience and students' learning experience, as well as improves an electronic design and manufacturing engineers' ability to analyze and troubleshoot products, delivering the following benefits: 

• Integration, enabling users to focus on insights and core innovation, not managing instruments.
• Configure, control and monitor multiple instruments from a single screen.
• Test, analyze and share lab instruments and data remotely from anywhere, providing learning during the pandemic and global access to remote instrumentation.
• Automate common tasks from test set up, data collection, to report generation.
• Centrally manage an entire lab of instruments and configuration to maximize productivity.
