- Easy to Use Front Panel Display
- Up to 5 Modules Can be Added
The Agilent 3497A Data Acquisition/Control Unit combines the capabilities of several instruments and is a basic building block of an automatic data acquisition and control system. The Agilent 3497A will be used in an HP-IB automated system and can be viewed as a precision measurement and control computer peripheral.
The Agilent 3497A has been designed to be a very versatile and very powerful instrument. A basic Agilent 3497A consists of a mainframe that includes a front panel keyboard and display, a non-volatile real time clock, and an HP-IB interface. Available as an option is an 5.5 digit integrating digital voltmeter and current source that occupies a dedicated slot in the HP 3497A chassis. Capability is added to the HP 3497A by using any combination of plug-in assemblies. Available plug-in assemblies are:
• Relay Multiplexers with or without thermocouple compensation
• FET Multiplexer
• Digital Input/Interrupt
• Counters
• Strain gage/bridge completion
• Actuators
• Programmable voltage and current D/As
• Breadboard Assembly
Up to 5 assemblies can be added to the HP 3497A and the 3498A Extender chassis can hold up to 10 more plug-in assemblies.
The HP 3497A Data Acquisition/Control Mainframe may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Provides a modular data acquisition and control mainframe supporting multiple plug-in measurement and control modules; interfaces with external controllers via HPIB and analog extender connections; includes an internal digital voltmeter for direct measurement; facilitates local operation through an alphanumeric front panel with display and programmable alarm; powers and supports simultaneous scanning and measurement of multiple signals; works as a control hub for automated test setups in electronic measurement systems.
Platforms
Modular data acquisition and control system providing a flexible mainframe for interfacing with measurement and control devices through plug-in option cards. Features HPIB/GPIB communication for remote operation, built-in digital voltmeter for direct measurements, and analog extender support for expanded channel capacity. Includes front panel alphanumeric keyboard and display for local programming and monitoring of measurement results. Operates in automated test environments, providing switching, multiplexing, and measurement capabilities for industrial monitoring, component testing, and laboratory data collection applications.
Applications
Designed as a modular data acquisition system mainframe, it interfaces with plug-in measurement and control cards to perform multiplexed signal scanning, measurement, and sensor data collection. It supports integration with HPIB (IEEE-488) bus controllers and an analog extender for expanded channel capacity. Operates with internal digital voltmeter modules or external measurement instruments, providing local control via alphanumeric keypad and status display or remote control through standard communication interfaces. Commonly used for automated test equipment, laboratory data logging, sensor array monitoring, and industrial process control applications requiring flexible, multi-channel analog and digital data acquisition.
