description
The Keysight 34970A Data Acquisition/Data Logger Switch Unit consists of a 3-slot mainframe and a built-in 6 1/2 digit digital multimeter. Each channel can be individually configured to measure one of 11 different functions without adding cost or complicated signal conditioning accessories. You can build compact data loggers, full-featured data acquisition systems or low-cost switching units with 8 optional plug-in modules. The screw connection on the module eliminates the need for a terminal junction box, and the unique relay maintenance function records the number of closures per switch for easy and predictable relay maintenance. The most popular 34901A module has a built-in thermocouple reference and 20 2-wire channels.
