The Agilent 34970A offers unequaled-versatility
for your data acquisition applications
In the past, you had to make a choice. On the one
hand, you could choose the simple operation and
low cost of a data logger. On the other hand, you
had the flexibility and higher performance of
a modular data acquisition system. The Agilent
34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit gives you
the best of both worlds: a simple user interface
with low per-channel cost, modular flexibility,
and impressive measurement performance.
Whether you’re an R&D engineer working on char-
acterizing your latest design, or a manufacturing
engineer building a test system or troubleshooting
a process, the 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch
Unit offers the best combination of price and mea-
surement performance.
It’s a data-logger:
Configured with a 20-channel relay multiplexer,
the 34970A becomes a powerful, low-cost data
logger for simple characterization applications—
one-that’s quick to set up and easy to run. For
more information on using the 34970A for data log-
ging applications, see page 6.
It’s a data acquisition front-end:
The 34970A is an automated test system with
excellent measurement performance—it’s got the
accuracy, resolution, and speed you need. See
page 8 for application information.
It’s a switch system:
Order the mainframe without the internal DMM
and you’ve got an even lower cost, high-quality
signal routing solution. See-page 10 for details.
