(June 17, 2008) SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Agilent Technologies Inc. launched two additional modules for its 34980A multifunction switch/measure unit. They are designed for R&D and manufacturing engineers in the aerospace/defense, consumer electronics, computers and peripherals, communications, semiconductor, and automotive industries routing low-frequency signals between stimulus, device under test (DUT), and measurement equipment when designing high-pin-count tests.
The modules extend high-performance capabilities with higher switching density and flexible measurements with automatic surge protection. These high-density modules are targeted as cost-effective alternatives to PXI and VXI test platforms. The modules are part of Agilent's multi-step enhancements to the Agilent 34980A multifunction switch/measure unit.
The Agilent 34934A 512 cross-point reed matrix features high-density switching with low-level signal capability and a proprietart automatic surge protection upon switch closure. This, coupled with the row disconnect feature for minimizing capacitance on multimodule configurations, offers high-quality, high-speed measurements in high-pin-count applications.
The Agilent 34939A 64 Channel Form A switch offers high-density SPST switching for device actuation and switching loads or power supplies. Both modules, together with the 19 modules previously released, comprise a high-performance family of eight-slot mainframe switches with built-in DMM. The switches have 11 measurement functions and mix-and-match, plug-in modules that allow customers to create custom configurations. R&D and manufacturing engineers can mix and match any of these 21 modules.
Features of the Agilent 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit include front-panel or software-controlled unit; graphical Web interface for quick setup and troubleshooting; easy connections with standard Dsub cables or screw terminal blocks; high-speed switching with up to 500 switch sequences stored in non-volatile memory; relay cycle counter to monitor end of switch life; and LXI Class C compliance with standard LAN, USB, and GPIB interfaces.
