The Agilent 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure unit is designed for Ramp;D and manufacturing test engineers who are working in design verification, automated test or data acquisition and are either looking to upgrade their existing systems or are in need of a new, cost-effective alternative.
The 34980A is an eight-slot mainframe that offers 19 plug-in modules and an optional 6 1/2 digit DMM. It is easy to integrate with standard LAN, USB and GPIB connectivity to PC, and is priced up to 40% less than comparable switching solutions.
The 34980A Keysight Multifunction Switch / Measure Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Multiplexes and routes analog and digital signals through programmable switching matrices while performing precision measurements including DC/AC voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and temperature. Provides galvanic isolation between channels and supports various plug-in modules for different signal types. Interfaces via SCPI commands over LAN, USB, or GPIB for automated test system integration. Enables sequential scanning of multiple test points with programmable settling times and trigger synchronization for high-throughput data acquisition applications.
Platforms
High-performance switching and measurement mainframe supporting up to 8 plug-in modules for flexible test system configuration. Built-in 6.5-digit DMM provides voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and temperature measurements. Operates in rack-mount environments via LAN/LXI, USB, and GPIB interfaces. Compatible with over 20 module types including multiplexers, matrix switches, RF/microwave switches, D/A converters, and digital I/O. Internal analog bus enables module-to-module connections without external cabling. Supports SCPI programming and includes graphical web interface for remote control. Common applications include automated test systems, data acquisition, component characterization, and production testing environments.
Applications
Automated validation and production test of electronic components, modules, and sub-assemblies; high-channel-count data acquisition for thermal profiling, stress testing, and environmental monitoring in R&D and manufacturing; signal routing and conditioning in complex ATE systems; and laboratory general-purpose measurement for multi-point characterization and prototyping.
Accessories
An 8-slot LXI mainframe requiring one or more 349xx series plug-in switch/measure modules. Rear interfaces include GPIB (24-pin IEEE-488), LAN (RJ-45), and USB 2.0 (Type-B) for remote control. Also features BNC connectors for Trigger IN/OUT and 10MHz REF IN/OUT, plus DB-25 Analog Bus connectors for module expansion. A front panel USB (Type-A) host port is for configuration storage. Signal I/O connectors (e.g., screw-terminal block, D-sub, RF) are located on the installed modules. An internal 6.5 digit DMM connects to modules via the backplane.
Interfaces
GPIB (IEEE-488) with a 24-pin Amphenol connector, LAN (RJ-45), and USB 2.0 (Type B). Module Slots: Eight module slots for various switch and measurement modules, with a 100-pin connector for module interface.
Specifications
This modular mainframe integrates high-performance switching, data acquisition, and measurement capabilities.
