Keysight quality
We know you can’t afford instrument downtime due to hardware
failures and unscheduled maintenance� That’s why our engineers
designed reliability into the 34970A/34972A: A rugged enclosure,
state-of-the-art surface mount construction throughout, reduced
parts counts, and rigorous and thorough testing on all aspects of
the product�
Take the guesswork out of relay maintenance
The 34970A/34972A uses our proprietary relay maintenance
system to help you to predict relay end-of-life and avoid costly
production line downtime� It automatically counts every individual
switch closure and stores it in nonvolatile memory on each
module� You can query the total number of cycles on any individ-
ual channel so you can schedule maintenance and avoid erratic
end-of-life failures�
