Multiple multiplexers can connect
to the built-in analog buses, allowing you
to scan up to 560 2-wire channels or 640
1-wire channels in a single mainframe. The
34921A also offers 4 channels for directly
measuring current. Or if you need more cur-
rent channels, shunts can be added to the
terminal block for easy current measure-
ments.
The multiplexer modules feature break-
before-make connections to ensure that no
two signals are connected to each other
during a scan. Or, if you prefer, you can
control switching manually to create your
own switch configuration. All the multiplex-
er switches have a relay counter to help
predict when relays need to be replaced.
Note:The34923Aand34924Ahave100
ohm input protection resistors that limit
current and protect the reed relays.
