02 | Keysight | 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit - Data Sheet
High-performance switch/measure unit provides
a low-cost, highly ꢀexible measurement platform
If you use automated test equipment for design validation or manufacturing, you now
have a cost-effective solution for many test system applications. The 34980A multifunc-
tion switch/measure unit provides functionality that is easy to set up and use, with a fast
startup time. The 34980A helps you lower your cost of test and accelerate your test-sys-
tem integration and development.
The 34980A handles system switching up to 26.5 GHz and provides basic measurements
and system control. It also offers DMM measurements, counter/ totalizer functionality,
digital I/O with pattern capabilities, and analog outputs with basic waveforms— all in one
low-cost, compact box. And with its standard connectors and software drivers, comput-
er-standard I/O, and Web browser interface, the 34980A easily integrates into electronic
functional test and data acquisition systems.
Flexible switching, measurements, and system control
The 34980A accommodates up to 8 plug-in modules to give you the ꢀexibility you need.
Choose from 21 different modules to deꢁne your own conꢁguration. You can buy what
you need now and add to it or reconꢁgure it as your requirements change.
Whether you are measuring temperature, AC or DC voltage, resistance, frequency, current,
or custom measurements, the 34980A offers the functionality you need in a single box.
Switch in different measurements with high-performance signal switching up to 300V
with no external signal conditioning required. Choose between different switch types and
topologies with frequency ranges from DC to 26.5 GHz. The 34980A offers high-density
multiplexers for scanning multiple channels, matrices for connecting multiple points at one
time, and general purpose switches for simple control and high power needs.
Use the 34980A to route individual signals or monitor multiple signals over a speciꢁed
period of time—monitor a single channel or multiple channels, set alarms, and identify
irregularities.
The 34980A offers ꢀexible choices for system control. You can control external devices
such as microwave switches, attenuators, solenoids, and power relays. Or use the digital
inputs to sense limit-switch and digital-bus status.
