Agilent Quality
We know you can’t afford instrument downtime
due to hardware failures and unscheduled mainte-
nance. That’s why our engineers designed reliability
into the 34970A: 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 uses our proprietary relay mainte-
nance 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 individual channel so you can
schedule maintenance and avoid erratic end-of-
life failures.
