Get better measurements with built-in
signal conditioning
The Keysight DAQ970A architecture offers advantages over
other data acquisition solutions which rely on external or
plug-in signal conditioning modules for handling functions
other than dcV:
– Minimizes external wiring and the resultant potential for
noise and errors to enter your system
– Reduces hidden costs and overall system cost by
avoiding unnecessary cables, breakout boxes and signal
conditioning elements
– Simplifies your configuration—for faster, easier setup—
with fewer connections and components
– Takes the guesswork out of error analysis.
– Measurement accuracies are specified to include all
system-related errors
– Improves reliability, with fewer interconnects and fewer
parts that can fail
Flexible functionality
The DMM is installed inside the chassis rather than in one of the
slots, leaving all three mainframe slots free for switch and control
modules. You can choose from eight different modules (see page
13) to get the precise functionality you need now—while giving
you flexibility for future expansion.
The internal DMM gives you the flexibility to measure 12 types of
inputs easily and inexpensively. The built-in signal conditioning
and conversion routines turn raw inputs directly into real informa-
tion. Each measurement channel is independently configurable,
so you can set different measurement functions, scale factors and
alarm limits, even on adjacent channels. Advanced measurement
features such as offset compensation, variable integration time,
and delay are also selectable on a per-channel basis.
Software drivers
Your months of test system software development time need
not go to waste. Software drivers that support (C, C#, Visual
Basic, Visual Studio), LAN and USB on the DAQ970A and SCPI
programming language make integration even easier.
The functionality you need
We put a lot of thought into defining and designing the modules
for the DAQ970A in order to cover a broad spectrum of switching
and signal routing requirements with fewer modules. The result?
Simplified ordering and easier configuration. And while we were
at it, we improved performance and density. The DAQ970A mod-
ules can switch from microvolts to 300 volts, dc to 2 GHz, and
with densities as high as 120 single-ended channels or 96 matrix
crosspoints per frame. Plus, simple control capabilities like analog
outputs, open collector digital outputs, and isolated Form-C
relays for controlling higher-powered devices are available.
Easy scanning
The DAQ970A can easily scan with external instruments. It builds
a scan list that includes all enabled low frequency multiplexer
inputs. Scans are controlled with the external channel advance
input, or with the front panel Step key.
Connect to the company network
With the LAN interface, the instrument is easily connected to
the company network to collect measurement data to a central
database, remotely access the instrument’s set up, or monitor
measurement data from anywhere on the network.
