BenchVue data acquisition control and analysis
The BenchVue software platform enables you to easily connect to and control the 34980A using the
BenchVue DAQ application. This application enables you to quickly configure channels, log data, and
visualize measurements for 11 of the 21 plug-in modules. Simply identify the measurements you want to
acquire, initiate the process and see the data displayed real-time. The rich set of colorful graphics
provides many options for analyzing and displaying your data. You can specify multiple channels per
graph or send collected data to multiple graphs. You can use strip charts with markers and alarm
indication or histograms with statistics. And of course, you can use BenchVue to easily move data to
other applications for further analysis, or for inclusion in your presentations and reports.
