Price and performance beyond compare
Go ahead and compare the Agilent Technologies
34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit with other
data acquisition systems currently available. You’ll
find it hard to come up with a system that offers
the powerful measurement performance, flexibility,
and ease of use of the 34970A— even in systems
costing three to five times as much.
How did we manage to pack so much performance
into such a low-cost instrument? We borrowed tech-
nology developed for our top-of-the-line products
and put it into a package that cuts assembly time,
incorporates custom ICs to reduce parts count, and
simplifies production testing. That means it costs
us less to make. The results? You spend less with-
out sacrificing quality or performance.
What can you expect from a data acquisition
system that’s this affordable?
Measurements you can trust
We took the measurement engine from our best-
selling benchtop DMM and embedded it inside a
3-slot cardcage. You get the benefit of proven Agilent
measurement performance, universal inputs with
built-in signal conditioning, and modular flexibility,
all in a low-cost, compact data acquisition package.
The 34970A features 6
1
/2 digits (22 bits) of resolution,
0.004% basic dcV accuracy, and ultra-low reading
noise. Combine that with scan rates of up to 250
channels/sec, and you’ve got the speed and accuracy
you need to get the job done right the first time.
Powerful flexibility to get your job done
Whether you need to measure temperature,
ac/dc volts, resistance, frequency, or current, the
34970A can handle it. The internal autoranging
DMM directly measures 11 different functions,
eliminating the need for expensive external signal
conditioning. And our unique design allows com-
plete per-channel configurability for maximum
flexibility and quick, easy set up. It’s like having
an independent, high-performance DMM behind
each channel.
Custom configurations that grow with you
Three module slots and eight switch/control
modules allow you to customize the 34970A to
meet your unique requirements. Buy only what
you need—and add more modules later as your
application grows.
Unequaled ease of use
From the simplified configuration procedures,
to the self-guiding front panel interface, we put
in extra time and energy to save yours. 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 15 minutes
out of the box all add up to increased productivity,
whether you use the instrument every day or
only now and then.
Free software to save you time and money
Now you don’t have to spend your valuable time
writing or configuring software. Agilent BenchLink
Data Logger II software gives you a familiar
Microsoft Windows® interface for test configura-
tion and real-time data display and analysis. Even
better, the data logging application is included
with every standard Agilent 34970A.
