The Agilent 34907A module for the 34970A/34972A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit allows great flexibility for a variety of sense and control applications. It combines two 8-bit ports of digital input and output, a 100 kHz gated totalizer, and two ±12V analog outputs - all on a single earth-referenced module. The digital inputs and totalizer input may be included in a scan. Alarm limits for the digital and event counter inputs are evaluated continuously, capturing and logging alarm conditions even between scans.

Digital Input/Ouput Use the digital outputs with an external power supply to control microwave switches and attenuators, solenoids, power relays, indicators, and more. Use the digital inputs to sense limit switch and digital bus status. There are no complex handshake modes; reads and writes are initiated either from the front panel or the bus. Analog output Use the two electronically calibrated analog outputs to source bias voltages to your device under test, to control your analog programmable power supplies, or use the outputs as setpoints for your control systems. The outputs are programmed directly in volts, either from the front panel or from the bus. Modules specifications The Agilent 34970A accuracy specifications already include the switching offset and reference junction errors shown in the chart. These errors are listed separately for determining system error with external measurement devices. These errors are listed separately for determining system error with external measurement devices. Up to three modules, in any combination, can be inserted into a single mainframe. The 34970A’s internal DMM connections are accessible only through the 34901A, 34902A, and 34908A low frequency multiplexers. On-module screw terminals accept wire sizes from 16 gage to 22 gage. Twenty-gauge wire is recommended for high channel count applications. The 34905A and 34906A RF Multiplexers use SMB connectors. A standard set of (10) BNC-to-SMB adapter cables is provided with each RF module for convenient BNC connections.
