1

Introduction

The Agilent U1401A/U1401B Handheld Multi- Function 
Calibrator/Meter has a bidirectional (full duplex) 
communication capability that enables data transfer from the 
multimeter to a PC. The required accessory for this is an 
optional IR- USB cable, to be used with an application 
software that is downloadable from the Agilent Web site.

The U1401A Data Logger is an application software that is 
targeted to extend the capabilities of the U1401A/U1401B 
Handheld Multi- Function Calibrator/Meter. The software 
provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) that allows 
you to perform basic controls and measurements through the 
PC. The software also adds a long- term data recording 
function to the instrument.
