Agilent Technologies Inc., Spun Off from Hewlett-Packard: 1999

In 1999 HP announced a strategic realignment and the creation of a separate

company, Agilent Technologies Inc., which consisted of HP's test and

measurement, semiconductor, chemical analysis, and healthcare businesses.

Hewlett-Packard would continue as a computing and imaging company that

included all of HP's computing, printing, and imaging businesses. Edward

W. (Ned) Barnholt was named Agilent's president and CEO. HP announced

the formation of the new company on March 2, 1999, and on July 28 Agilent

Technologies was given its name, a combination of 'agile' with the popular

'ent' ending that suggested high technology (compare, for example, Lucent,

Scient, and Teligent)

The Hewlett-Packard former test and measurement, semiconductor products

and chemical analysis businesses are now part of Agilent Technologies. We

have made no changes to this manual copy. The HP XXXX referred to in

this document is now the Agilent XXXX. For example, model number

HP8648A is now model number Agilent 8648A.

Agilent Technologies Inc. uses the following cover page to identify former

test and measurement, semiconductor products and chemical analysis

businesses are now part of Agilent Technologies:
