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 Keysight 34970A/34972A
Data Acquisition/Switch Unit gives you the best of both worlds:
a simple user interface with low per-channel cost, modular
flexibility, standard connectivity and impressive measurement
performance�
Whether you’re an R&D engineer working on characterizing
your latest design, or a manufacturing engineer building a test
system or troubleshooting a process, the 34970A/34972A Data
Acquisition/Switch Unit offers the best combination of price and
measurement performance�
It’s a data logger
Configured with a 20-channel relay multiplexer, the 34970A/
34972A becomes a powerful, low-cost data logger for simple
characterization applications� What’s more, the 34972A with its
LAN and USB interfaces is ideal for easy set up and control for
data logging applications in remote locations� For more informa-
tion on using the 34970A/34972A for data logging applications,
see page 8�
It’s a data acquisition front end
The 34970A/34972A is an automated test system with excellent
measurement performance—it’s got the accuracy, resolution, and
speed you need� See page 10 for application information�
It’s a switch system
Order the mainframe without the internal DMM and you’ve got an
even lower cost, high-quality signal routing solution� See page 12
for details�
The Keysight 34970A/34972A Offers Unequaled Versatility
for Your Data Acquisition Applications
