Agilent / HP 34970A Data Acquisition / Switch Unit  

Agilent took the measurement engine from their best-selling benchtop DMM and embedded it inside a 3-slot cardcage. You get the benefit of proven Agilent measurement performance, universal inputs with built-in signal conditioning, and modular flexibility, all in a low-cost, compact data acquisition package. The Agilent 34970A features 6-1/2 digits (22 bits) of resolution, 0.004% basic dcV accuracy, and ultra-low reading noise. Combine that with scan rates of up to 250 channels/sec, and you've got the speed and accuracy you need to get the job done right the first time.

Whether you need to measure temperature, ac/dc volts, resistance, frequency or current -- the HP 34970A can handle it. The internal autoranging DMM directly measures 11 different functions, eliminating the need for expensive external signal conditioning. And our unique design allows complete per-channel configurability for maximum flexibility and quick, easy set up. It's like having an independent, high-performance DMM behind each channel.
Three module slots and eight switch/control modules allow you to customize the 34970A to meet your unique requirements. Buy only what you need -- and add more modules later as your application grows.

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, well-organized 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.

In the past, you had to make a choice. On the one hand, you could choose the simple operation and low cost of a data logger. On the other hand, you had the flexibility and higher performance of a modular data acquisition system. The 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit gives you the best of both worlds: a simple user interface with low per-channel cost, modular flexibility and impressive measurement performance.
