Description
  • The Agilent 34970A Data Acquisition Switch Unit consists of a three-slot mainframe with a built-in 6 1/2 digit digital multimeter. Each channel can be configured independently to measure one of 11 different functions without the added cost or hassles of signal-conditioning accessories. Choose from eight optional plug-in modules to create a compact data logger, full-featured data acquisition system or low-cost switching unit. On-module screw-terminal connections eliminate the need for terminal blocks and a unique relay maintenance feature counts every closure on every switch for easy, predictable relay maintenance. Our most popular module 34901A features a built-in thermocouple reference and 20 two-wire channels.
  • Agilent BenchLink Data Logger software is included with the 34970A. BenchLink Data Logger gives you a familiar Microsoft Windows® interface for test configuration and real-time data display and analysis. Setup and make measurements quickly, export data or use the built-in graphs to log your results.

34901A Multiplexer Module 20 channel
  • The Agilent 34901A module for the 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit is the most versatile multiplexer for general purpose scanning. It combines dense, multi-function switching with 60 channel/second scan rates to address a broad spectrum of data acquisition applications.

    Two- and four-wire channels can be mixed on the same module. Two additional fused inputs (22 channels total) route up to 1A of current to the internal DMM, allowing ac and dc current measurements without the need for external shunt resistors.

34902A - Multiplexer Module 16 channel
  • The Agilent 34902A module for the 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit employs reed relays to achieve scan rates up to 250 channels-per-second. Use this module for high-throughput automated test applications as well as high-speed data logging and monitoring tasks.
  • Sixteen two-wire inputs switch up to 300 V. Two-and four-wire channels may be mixed on the same module. User provided shunt resistors are required for current measurements.

34903A - Actuator/GP Switch Module , 20 channel
  • This general-purpose switch module has 20 independent single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) relays. Use it to cycle power to products under test, control indicator and status lights, and to actuate external power relays and solenoids. Combine it with matrix and multiplexer modules to build custom switch systems. Its 300 V, 1A contacts can handle up to 50 W, enough for many power line switching applications.

34904A - Actuator/GP Switch Module
  • The Agilent 34904A module for the 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit gives you the most flexible connection path between your device under test and your test equipment allowing different instruments to be connected to multiple points on your DUT at the same time.

    Rows or columns may be connected between multiple modules to build 8 x 8, 4 x 16 or larger matrices, with up to 96 crosspoints in a single frame.

34905A - 50 Ohm Module, RF Mux Multiplexer Module
  • The Agilent 34905A and 34906A RF multiplexers offer broadband switching capabilities for high frequency and pulsed signals. Use them to route test signals between your device under test and your signal generator, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, or other instrumentation.

    The RF multiplexers are arranged as two independent 1x4 multiplexers, each with a common shield and a switched center conductor. Connections can be made directly to SMB inputs with 2 GHz usable bandwidth, or to the BNC-to-SMB adapters provided with 1 GHz bandwidth. Multiple banks may be cascaded together for applications requiring even larger topologies — create a stubless 16:1 multiplexer in a single frame.

34830A BenchLink Data Logger Pro Software for 34970A
[ zoom ]
  • Agilent BenchLink Data Logger Pro software for the 34970A provides a convenient way to collect and analyze your data. The software is a Windows® based application that uses a familiar spreadsheet environment to define measurement data to be collected. The tab-based format makes it easy to set up multiple scans and initiate scans based on predefined limits. Simply identify the measurements you want to acquire, define limits and actions to be preformed, and then initiate the process. Your data is then collocated, evaluated and acted on real-time.

    With the BenchLink Data Logger Pro software you get advanced data logging and decision making capabilities without spending hours programming.
