Keysight 34970A (HP34970A) Switching System/Datalogger

Obsolete. Recommended replacement product: ▸DAQ970A. The 34970A/34972A modules are still available for some time.

Benefits

• Worldwide tried and tested solution for automatic test systems.
• Modular configuration suitable for your requirements and budget.
• Multimeter, switching, datalogger/DAQ system in one.

The Maximum Flexibility.

Use the Keysight 34970A data acquisition/data logger switch unit to configure your "tailor-made" solution. The device consists of a 3-slot mainframe with a built-in 6½ digit DMM and 8 different switch and control modules. With the 34970A, there is no computer required for field applications. Still, this product features built-in GPIB and RS232 interfaces so you can easily connect to a PC or laptop. The 34970A can accept any of the 34900A plug-in modules. The plug-in modules also feature on-board screw terminals and relay closure count so you can create a compact datalogger, full-featured data acquisition system or low-cost switching unit that is easy to connect, configure and use on the bench, on a network or in field applications.

• Flexible mainframe for data acquisiton, multiplexing, datalogging and automatic test systems.
• Configure your individual solution according to your application and budget.
• Internal 6½ digit (22 bit) digital multimeter with 0.004% basic DC Volt accuracy. Built on the technology of the industry-standard 34401A.
• Modular: 3 module slots, 8 module types (see accessory and table below).
• 11 built-in measurement functions.
• Scan rates up to 250 channels/s.
• Interface connectivity: GPIB and RS232.
• SCPI compatible.
• A BenchVue software licence (BV0006B) is now included with your instrument purchase. BenchVue makes it simple to connect, control instruments, and automate test sequences.
• Replacement for Keysight 3853A (Agilent 3853A/HP3853A).
