Agilent Technologies Introduces Customizable, Easy-to-Use Display Test Solutions for IT, Consumer Electronics Manufacturing

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today released a display tester
designed for easy, customizable setup for visual testing of up to five
major display formats. It is suitable for testing FPD and CRT displays
as well as LCD panels in PC and TV manufacturing.

The Agilent U8101A supports all major analog (S-Video, YPbPr,
CVBS, VGA) and digital (HDMI and DVI) interfaces, and allows for
future upgrades to new interfaces. The flexibility of multiple plug-in
card slots enables test technicians and engineers to customize
instrument configuration according to their needs, a capability that
differentiates the U8101A from other testers in its class.

Unlike typical device testers, Agilent's display tester uses a
5.7-inch color LCD display and Windows(TM)-based graphical user
interface (GUI) to simplify test pattern selections. From the
user-friendly front panel, operators can easily select different
display formats, test configurations and other frequently used
functions. Coupled with the capability to recall up to 16 test
sequences and patterns, these features help minimize manual input
errors and reduce test setup time. In addition, the U8101A comes with
USB capability for convenient high-definition patterns and image
transfer to tester and hassle-free firmware upgrades.

"The U8101A's intuitive GUI and customizable configurations
reiterate Agilent's commitment to enhance customer experience," said
Ee Huei Sin, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Basic
Instruments Division. "This display tester also sets the benchmark for
scalable, cost-effective test solutions as users only need to purchase
test cards according to their test requirements."

The Agilent U8101A display tester is available now. Pricing starts
at $7,250, depending on card configuration. Standard options are as
follows:
