Unequaled ease of use
From the simplified configuration to BenchVue DAQ, we put in
extra time and energy so you don’t have to. Simple things like
on-module screw-terminal connectors, built-in thermocouple
reference junctions, well-organized user documentation full of
examples and hints, and a standard Getting Started kit that will
have you making measurements in just a few minutes all add up
to increased productivity, whether you use the instrument every
day or only now and then.
Custom configurations that grow with you
Three module slots and eight switch/control modules allow you
to customize the 34970A/34972A to meet your unique require-
ments. Buy only what you need—and add more modules later as
your application grows.
34970A and 34972A are compatible
The 34972A LXI Data Acquisition/Switch Unit is an LXI version
of the 34970A. It replaces the GPIB and RS-232 interfaces
with modern connectivity for a direct connection to your PC or
Laptop.
The 8 plug-in modules can be used with either unit—so all the
measurements and wiring are compatible. The 34972A can be
easily integrated into an existing test program with a simple
change to the instrument address. Since the 34972A code is a
superset of the 34970A code, once the instrument address is
changed, the test program will run as normal.
Example:
Change:
Set inst1.IO = ioMgr.Open(“GPIB0::9::INSTR”)
To:
Set inst1.IO = ioMgr.Open(“TCPIP0::156.140.77.230::inst0::
INSTR”)
