03 | Keysight | 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit - Data Sheet
Optimized for test systems
The 34980A has the performance you need for medium- to high-density switching/mea-
surement applications such as design veriication, 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 through-
put on switch closure time. Or, if you prefer, you can easily connect to external instru-
ments such as DMMs, scopes, power supplies, and more. What’s more, with the built-in
Ethernet interface, you can control the 34980A and collect data from anywhere on the
network. For a complete modular solution, use the 34980A together with PXI modular
products when more capability is required.
The rugged instrument comes with a variety of system-ready features:
– Web browser interface shows settings at a glance and provides remote access and
control
– Self-guiding front panel to conigure, troubleshoot or view data
– Low EMI and eficient system cooling
– Heavy-duty cabling and connection options
– Flexible rack mounting options
– Relay counters help predict end-of-life
– In-rack calibration for reduced maintenance time
– DMM measurement accuracies include the switch for simple calculations
Make system connections easily and quickly with simple, reliable connection options:
– Built-in Ethernet, USB 2.0, and GPIB connectivity
– Low-cost, standard 50- or 78-pin Dsub connectors and cables
– Detachable terminal blocks with strain relief
– Mass interconnect solutions
In addition, the 34980A comes with Keysight Technologies, Inc. IO Libraries Suite.
Quickly establish an error-free connection between your PC and instruments—regardless
of vendor. The IO Libraries provide robust instrument control and work with the software
development environment you choose.
Easier signal routing with four 2-wire internal analog buses. You can route your measure-
ments directly to the internal DMM, or you can connect to external instruments through
the analog bus connector on the rear of the mainframe. And since you have four 2-wire
buses, you can dedicate one bus for use with the internal DMM and use the other three
buses for module extensions or additional signal routing between modules, reducing your
wiring needs.
You can deine up to 500 switch sequences to control complex signal routing and the
order of switch closures. Assign a sequence, give it a name and then execute it with the
name you created.
Switch sequences are downloaded and stored in the instrument for ease of programming
and increased throughput.
External trigger capabilities make it easy for you to time and synchronize measurements
and other events. This can help you determine when to begin or end an acquisition.
