...and Agilent spun them out into Keysight, to focus on slightly random bits of lab equipment instead. What was a long and illustrious history is now...not. I much prefer my Rode & Schwarz machines. Incidentally, Agilent did the same thing with Varian -- an NMR company that was involved in the acquisition of data ultimately in several nobel prizes. They didn't make enough money in a two year period, and Excel and MBAs killed a multi-decade business [1], leading to unemployment and a monopoly in the field of preclinical MRI, EPR/ESR, and a duopoly in NMR spectroscopy.
