Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. U2500A Series USB Modular Simultaneous Sampling Multifunction
(DAQ) devices are high-performance modules that consist of three models – the U2531A, U2541A and
U2542A. The U2500A Series has up to four channels with 14-bit and 16-bit resolutions. The U2531A
can sample up to 2 MSa/s for each channel with a resolution of 14 bits,
while the U2541A and U2542A can sample up to 250 kSa/s and 500 kSa/s for each channel
respectively with a resolution of 16 bits.

Various features of the U2500A Series
– Quick and easy USB setup
– High sampling rate of up to 2 MSa/s for each channel
– Dedicated analog-to-digital (ADC) that allows simultaneous sampling of data
– Flexible standalone or modular capability
– SCPI and IVI-COM supported with a wide range of KDE compatibility that minimizes work time
and increases software choices
– Easy-to-use KMM application software and command logger function for easy SCPI command
conversion into snippets of VEE, VB, C++, and C# code
High sampling rate of up to 2 MSa/s
The U2500A Series provides a high analog input sampling rate coverage of up to 2 MSa/s for each
channel. The high sampling rate coverage offered is ideal for transient signal applications such as
sonar analysis.
Simultaneous sampling of data
The U2500A Series has dedicated ADCs that
enable simultaneous signals acquisition, which
makes the U2500A Series suitable for your
phase-sensitive applications.
