Agilent / HP / Keysight 34970A

The Agilent 34970A has a 3-slot mainframe with a built-in 6½ digit digital multimeter.

Any channel can be easily configured independently to measure one of 11 different functions without the extra cost or hassles of signal-conditioning accessories.

User can choose from the eight optional plug-in modules to create a compact data logger, full-featured data acquisition system or low-cost switching unit.

The need for terminal blocks is eliminated by on-module screw-terminal connections. A unique relay maintenance feature counts every closure on every switch for easy, predictable relay maintenance.

The 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.

This gives you a familiar interface for test configuration and real-time data display and analysis.

The Agilent 34970A can easily scan with external instruments. It builds a scan list that includes all enabled low-frequency multiplexer inputs. Scans are controlled with the external channel advance input, or with the front panel Step key.

From the simplified configuration procedures, to the self-guiding front panel interface, we put in extra time and energy to save yours. Simple things like on-module screw-terminal connectors, built-in thermocouple reference junctions, wellorganized
user documentation full of examples and hints, and a standard Getting Started kit that
will have you making measurements 15 minutes out of the box all add up to increased productivity, whether you use the instrument every day or only now and then.

Go ahead and compare the Agilent Technologies 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit with otherdata acquisition systems currently available.

You’ll find it hard to come up with a system that offers the powerful measurement performance, flexibility, and ease of use of the 34970A—even in systems costing three to five times as much.
