Test Equipment Solutions Ltd specialise in the second user sale, rental and distribution of
quality test & measurement (T&M) equipment. We stock all major equipment types such as
spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, logic analysers etc from
all the major suppliers such as Agilent, Tektronix, Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz.
We are focused at the professional end of the marketplace, primarily working with customers
for whom high performance, quality and service are key, whilst realising the cost savings that
second user equipment offers. As such, we fully test & refurbish equipment in our in-house,
traceable Lab. Items are supplied with manuals, accessories and typically a full no-quibble 2
year warranty. Our staff have extensive backgrounds in T&M, totalling over 150 years of
combined experience, which enables us to deliver industry-leading service and support. We
endeavour to be customer focused in every way right down to the detail, such as offering free
delivery on sales, covering the cost of warranty returns BOTH ways (plus supplying a loan
unit, if available) and supplying a free business tool with every order.
As well as the headline benefit of cost saving, second user offers shorter lead times, higher
reliability and multivendor solutions. Rental, of course, is ideal for shorter term needs and
offers fast delivery, flexibility, try-before-you-buy, zero capital expenditure, lower risk and off
balance sheet accounting. Both second user and rental improve the key business measure of
Return On Capital Employed.
We are based near Heathrow Airport in the UK from where we supply test equipment
worldwide. Our facility incorporates Sales, Support, Admin, Logistics and our own in-house
Lab.
- No-quibble parts & labour warranty (we provide transport for UK mainland addresses).
- Free loan equipment during warranty repair, if available.
- Full electrical, mechanical and safety refurbishment in our in-house Lab.
- Certificate of Conformance (calibration available on request).
- Manuals and accessories required for normal operation.
- Free insured delivery to your UK mainland address (sales).
- Support from our team of seasoned Test & Measurement engineers.
- ISO9001 quality assurance.

HP ESA-L series features and benefits
Performance1
5-ms full-span RF sweep time Combined with 28 measurements per second, provides virtual real-time updates. Responsive
display makes circuit adjustment easier, while increasing the probability of intercepting
intermittent signals.
High-speed data transfer (HP-IB) Fast processing reduces measurement time in ATE environments (optional).
Fully synthesized design Provides continuously phase-locked precision throughout the entire sweep. Assures frequency
accuracy, stability, and measurement repeatability, eliminating drift.
Fast time-domain sweeps Sweeps as fast as 2 microseconds per division in zero span (optional).
Amplitude correction Calibrates out frequency-related amplitude effects with built-in amplitude correction.
Automatic background alignment Continuously calibrates the analyzer. Guarantees repeatability over changing temperatures.
85-dB calibrated display range Allows simultaneous display of large and small signals.
Built-in tracking generator Combines spectrum and scalar test capability in a single instrument (optional). Synthesized
design eliminates tracking drift (HP E4411B only). One-button normalize function quickly
the setup.
5-dB step attenuator Optimizes distortion-free dynamic range.
Built-in frequency counter With 1-Hz resolution, minimizes the need for an external frequency counter.
Portability
Fast warm-up Provides full measurement accuracy after just five minutes.
Snap-on battery Eliminates the restrictions of power cords.
Rubber-encased front and rear frames Provides impact protection in the field.
Rain-resistant front panel Combined with louvered air vents, allows operation in diverse weather conditions.
12-Vdc power cable Allows direct operation from automotive and truck batteries.
Ease-of-use
Large, monochrome VGA display 16.5 cm, high-resolution monochrome display with wide viewing angle makes detailed
with output VGA observations easy. Includes 15-pin VGA rear output connector for external monitor.
Parallel port Supports output to the most popular printers (optional).
Disk drive Makes saving and moving measurement results to your PC quick and easy.
One-button measurements Save set-up and measurement time with adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, channel
power, peaks table, and harmonics table features.
AM demodulation Combines with the built-in speaker for tune and listen applications.
100 trace and 32 instrument state files Provides internal storage of measurement data and setups for future analysis or comparison.
Marker functions Provides digital resolution of measurement details through peak search, delta markers, marker
table and carrier-to-noise ratio. Signal track keeps unstable signals centered on the screen
while band power calculates total power between user-defined limits.
Softkey/hardkey interface Provides a simple user interface while retaining access to sophisticated features.
Built-in help button with function display Eliminates carrying manuals into the field to determine keypad and softkey functions.
Limit lines Built-in-limit lines and pass/fail messages simplify testing.
Built-in clock/calendar Provides storage of time stamps and printed data.
Automatic overload protection Protects RF input from overly large signals (only available on the 1.5 GHz HP E4411B).
Automatic printer setup Identifies connected HP printer models automatically.
1. For higher performance requirements, HP also offers the HP ESA-E series of spectrum analyzers. With its cardcage architecture,
the HP ESA-E series is an investment in a flexible platform and a wider range of options, such as narrow-resolution bandwidth filters for
viewing closely spaced signals and a built-in high-gain, low-noise preamplifier for better sensitivity measurements. For more information,
order the HP ESA family literature shown on page 12.
