Today marks another change in the storied history of the instrumentation once bearing Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard’s names. On Aug. 1 Agilent spun off its electronic instrumentation business into an independent subsidiary called Keysight Technologies. The Keysight website (FAQ) on the subject for its customers and investors.
