The Agilent / HP 3497A Series Data Acquisition/Control Unit Mainframe provides the interfacing, power supplies, and support structure for optional plug-in cards and assemblies. It is also the interfacing means between the 3498A Extender and a controller.
Local control is accomplished by using the 3497A's standard front panel. This front panel has an alphanumeric keyboard for programming the scanner and a display for showing measurement results, status, etc. The front panel does not affect the remote control capabilities of the 3497A, and it also has an audible and programmable alarm (beeper).

What Customers Are Saying
- Albert P.
I just want to thank you and the staff at Artisan for your prompt dispatch of the 34401A main board. I got it a couple of hrs. ago, removed the old board, installed the new and the result is as shown in the attachment. It not only works, but is calibrated to the last digit! I am very pleased and will definitely recommend your firm to my friends and colleagues. I really appreciate doing business with a firm that values service.

I find the employees helpful and knowledgeable about their products.
- Gareth A.
We bought a Parker Compumotor Controller for our press and installed it 2 weeks ago. Easy fix for our machine and it is working perfect.
- Terra N. Google
These people are amazing and absolutely *outstanding* at what they do. The customer service is terrific, every product is shipped to the exact specifications I ordered, and everyone has consistently bent over backwards to help me. They also carry a wide range of products and offer exceptional support. Very highly recommended!!!
- Lonnie G.
Don’t worry about damage to your items during shipping – the box ours came in could have taken a beating and would have still survived!
- Arvind P.
We have some test equipment in our lab from the 1990's that stopped working about 2 years ago. It sat in the corner collecting dust, but we took on a project last month that required more machines. After talking to Artisan, we found out we could get parts to fix our machine for much less than buying a new one!
