Key features for system use
Remove the rubber bumpers
and handle, and you have a
system-ready DMM that can
outperform even VXI and PXI
instrumentation. You get higher
throughput in high-volume
manufacturing for applications
such as wireless handsets,
wireless LAN, Bluetooth,
and automotive testing.
Key features for the system user:
• Front and rear input
terminals
• Easy-to-use SCPI
command language
• Up to 50 k readings/s,
continuous to PC
• Traceable accuracy in addition
to fast measurements
• Retrieve readings up to
270,000/s from reading
storage
• Sub-millisecond
command parsing
• Sub-microsecond external
trigger latencies
• Hardware handshake to
switch instruments
• Precision sample timer
for waveform capture
• Peak measurements while
measuring DC or AC signals
• 100-Mbit LAN, USB 2.0,
and GPIB
• Web server for remote access
• LXI Class C compliant
• 34401A emulation mode
• Drivers for IVI and LabVIEW
TM
These DMMs are system ready –
you turn them on, and they’re
ready for operation from the
front panel or through a Web
browser. You don’t have to
install drivers before you
can even use the instrument.
Having a built-in Web server
gives you complete control of
the DMM from any computer
that has a LAN port. If you can
connect to eBay.com, you can
connect to these DMMs without
the need for any driver software.
Developing programs is almost
as easy. The DMMs come with
Agilent’s powerful VISA I/O
library, drivers, and examples for
the most popular programming
development environments, so
you are programming within
minutes, not hours.
If you are considering replacing
the 34401A in your test system, all
you need to do is put the 34410A
or 34411A in emulation mode
using the “SYSTem:LANGuage
34401A” command. You do not
have to rewrite your tests –
except to compensate for a
much faster instrument and
higher-resolution measure-
ments. This mode is retained
in nonvolatile memory, so when
you cycle power, the DMM
still thinks it is a 34401A.
Please refer to Application
Note 5989-4038EN, “Replacing
the Agilent 34401A with the
new Agilent 34410A and
34411A High-Performance
Digital Multimeters.”
