HP 34970A User Manual

Plug-In Modules
The HP 34970A offers a complete selection of plug-in modules to give
you high-quality measurement, switching, and control capabilities.
The plug-in modules communicate with the floating logic via the internal
isolated digital bus. The multiplexer modules also connect to the
internal
DMM via the internal analog bus. Each module has its own
microprocessor to offload the mainframe processor and minimize
backplane communications for faster throughput. The table below shows
some common uses for each plug-in module.
For more information on each module, refer to the module sections in
chapter 4, starting on page 163.
