The Plug-In Modules at a Glance
For complete specifications on each plug-in modules, refer to the module
sections in Chapter 8.
34901A 20-Channel Armature Multiplexer
– 20 channels of 300 V switching
– Two channels for DC or AC current measurements (100 nA to 1A)
– Built-in thermocouple reference junction
– Switching speed of up to 60 channels per second
– Connects to the internal multimeter
– For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 210.
Each of the 20 channels switches both HI and LO inputs, thus providing fully
isolated inputs to the internal multimeter. The module is divided into two banks
of 10 two-wire channels each. When making four-wire resistance measurements,
channels from Bank A are automatically paired with channels from Bank B. Two
additional fused channels are included on the module (22 channels total) for
making calibrated DC or AC current measurements with the internal multimeter
(external shunt resistors are not required). You can close multiple channels on
this module only if you have not configured any channels to be part of the scan
list. Otherwise, all channels on the module are break-before-make.
