Additional Features: Eight-slot mainframe, choice of 21-plug-in modules Built-in DMM with 6½ digits (22 bits) of resolution Scan rates of up to 1000 channels/second Standard LAN, USB, and GPIB connectivity to PC, LXI Class C compliant Easy remote access with built-in Web interface Up to 560 2-wire mux or 4096 matrix cross-points in one mainframe If you use automated test equipment for design validation or manufacturing, you now have a cost-effective solution for many test system applications. The Keysight Technologies 34980A multifunction switch/measure unit provides functionality that is easy to set up and use, with a fast start-up time. This switch measure unit helps you lower your cost of test and accelerate your test-system integration and development. The 34980A handles system switching up to 26.5 GHz and provides basic measurements and system control. It also offers DMM measurements, counter/ totalizer functionality, digital I/O with pattern capabilities, and analog outputs with basic waveforms— all in one low-cost, compact box. And with its standard connectors and software drivers, computer-standard I/O, and Web browser interface, the measure unit easily integrates into electronic functional test and data acquisition systems. Flexible switching, measurements, and system control The multifunction unit can accommodate up to 8 plug-in modules to give you the flexibility you need. Choose from 21 different modules to define your own configuration. You can buy what you need now and add to it or reconfigure it as your requirements change. Whether you are measuring temperature, AC or DC voltage, resistance, frequency, current, or custom measurements, it offers the functionality you need in a single box. Switch in different measurements with high-performance signal switching up to 300V with no external signal conditioning required. Choose between different switch types and topologies with frequency ranges from DC to 26.5 GHz. This instrument offers high-density multiplexers for scanning multiple channels, matrices for connecting multiple points at one time, and general purpose switches for simple control and high power needs. Use the 34980A to route individual signals or monitor multiple signals over a specified period of time—monitor a single channel or multiple channels, set alarms, and identify irregularities. The switching unit offers flexible choices for system control. You can control external devices such as microwave switches, attenuators, solenoids, and power relays. Or use the digital inputs to sense limit-switch and digital-bus status. Optimized for test systems The 34980A has the performance you need for medium- to high-density switching/ measurement applications such as design verification, functional test and data acquisition. Your signals are switched to the right measurement device without compromising signal integrity. Switch your signals to the optional internal DMM and achieve optimal throughput on switch closure time. Or, if you prefer, you can easily connect to external instruments such as DMMs, scopes, power supplies, and more. What’s more, with the built-in Ethernet interface, you can control the the Keysight unit and collect data from anywhere on the network. For a complete modular solution, use the data acquisition unit together with PXI modular products when more capability is required.
