The Agilent/Keysight P532A is a frequency meter engineered for precision frequency measurements spanning 10 Hz to 32 GHz. This discontinued but fully supported instrument delivers 1 Hz resolution and a 7-digit LED display with 0.01 Hz readout. It integrates into Agilent/Keysight test systems via Type-N female input and 50 ohm impedance.

– Typical Applications
Suited for characterization of RF and microwave sources, component validation across broad frequency bands, and system-level frequency monitoring in production and field environments.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for integration into Agilent/Keysight measurement systems. RS-232 communication supported; baud rate, parity, and data bits must match instrument configuration. Keysight Service Centers provide repair and calibration services under agreement or per-incident basis. Full technical support available through Keysight Contact Center.
