Unequaled ease of use
From the simplified configuration to the graphical Web
interface in the 34972A, we put in extra time and energy
so you don’t have to. Simple things like on-module screw-
terminal connectors, built-in thermocouple reference junc-
tions, well-organized user documentation full of examples
and hints, and a standard Getting Started kit that will have
you making measurements in just a few minutes all add up
to increased productivity, whether you use the instrument
every day or only now and then.
Custom confi gurations that grow with you
Three module slots and eight switch/control modules allow
you to customize the 34970A/34972A to meet your unique
requirements. Buy only what you need—and add more
modules later as your application grows.
34970A and 34972A are compatible
The 34972A LXI Data Acquisition/Switch Unit is an LXI
version of the 34970A. It replaces the GPIB and RS-232
interfaces with modern connectivity for a direct connection
to your PC or Laptop.
The 8 plug-in modules can be used with either unit—so all
the measurements and wiring are compatible. The 34972A
can be easily integrated into an existing test program with a
simple change to the instrument address. Since the 34972A
code is a superset of the 34970A code, once the instrument
address is changed, the test program will run as normal.
Example:
Change:
Set inst1.IO = ioMgr.Open(“GPIB0::9::INSTR”)
To:
Set inst1.IO = ioMgr.Open(“TCPIP0::156.140.77.230::inst0::
INSTR”)
