Keysight DAQ973MB Good Switching Bundle

Includes a DAQ973A Single 3-Slot Data Acquisition Mainframe (USB, LAN and GPIB) and Three 20-channel DAQM901A Multiplexer Modules

DAQ973A Data Acquisition System Mainframe Features

DAQ973A is a mainframe for housing DAQM plug-in modules. Interface with the DAQ using Keysight BenchVue DAQ software or use the intuitive graphical front panel with task-oriented, self-guiding menus (similar to DAQ970A). However, the DAQ973A adds GPIB capability to the popular DAQ970A. It is the perfect replacement and upgrade to the 34970A if you require a GPIB interface.

Built-in Signal Conditioning to Get Your Job Done

Whether you need to measure temperature, ac/dc volts, resistance, frequency, or current, the DAQ970A can handle it. The internal autoranging DMM directly measures 12 different functions, eliminating the need for expensive external signal conditioning. And its unique design allows complete per channel configurability for maximum flexibility and quick, easy set up. It's like having an independent, high-performance DMM behind each channel.

More Channels in Less Space

Surface mount construction and a highly integrated design minimize the space required for relay drive and interface circuitry. High density on-module connectors save both board and connector space normally required by a terminal block. Keysight uses the latest technology to squeeze the most out of the remaining board space, giving you up to 40 single-ended channels in roughly the same space used by many data acquisition system terminal blocks.

Simplify Your Data Gathering and Analysis with Keysight's BenchVue

BenchVue software offers an intuitive interface for test configuration, real-time data display, and analysis. It allows quick setup and measurements, data export, and real-time logging with various display types. The software supports many Keysight instruments, providing a single interface for popular devices. Its familiar spreadsheet environment simplifies test configuration and control, enabling multiple graphics setups like strip charts, histograms, bar and scatter charts, and individual channel results for inclusion in presentations and reports.

DAQM901A 20-Channel General Purpose Multiplexer Module Features

The Keysight DAQM901A is a highly versatile multiplexer designed for general-purpose scanning. It features dense, multifunction switching with scan rates of 80 channels per second, making it suitable for a wide range of data acquisition tasks. The module supports both two- and four-wire channels simultaneously. Additionally, it includes two extra fused inputs (22 channels in total) that can route up to 1 A of current to the internal DMM, enabling AC and DC current measurements without the need for external shunt resistors.

Key Features:

• 80 ch/s scanning

• Two- and four-wire scanning

• Built-in thermocouple reference junction

• 300 V switching

Customize your Keysight DAQ970A with Additional Plug-in Modules (sold separately)

A complete selection of plug-in modules gives you high quality measurement, switching, and control capabilities to choose from. Modules include both low-frequency and RF multiplexers, a matrix switch, a general-purpose switch, and a multifunction module that includes digital input/output, analog output, and totalizer capabilities. You can mix and match modules to get just the functionality you need right now — then change or add more channels later as your application grows.

Data Acquisition/Switch Unit Modules for the DAQ970A Data Acquisition System

Choose between the broad functionality of the DAQM901A, the high-speed scanning of the DAQM902A, or the DAQM900A solid-state module the single-ended density of the DAQ908A. All multiplexer modules employ break-before-make scanning, ensuring only one closed channel (or channel pair) at a time.
