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. * DMM measurement accuracies include the switch for simple calculations Optimized for test systems The 34980A has the performance you need for medium- to high-density switching/ measurement applications such as design verification, functional test and data acquisition. Your signals are switched to the right measurement device without compromising signal integrity. Switch your signals to the optional internal DMM and achieve optimal throughput on switch closure time. Or, if you prefer, you can easily connect to external instruments such as DMMs, scopes, power supplies, and more. What's more, with the built-in Ethernet interface, you can control the 34980A and collect data from anywhere on the network. For a complete modular solution, use the 34980A together with PXI modular products when more capability is required. * In-rack calibration for reduced maintenance time Make system connections easily and quickly with simple, reliable connection options: * Built-in Ethernet, USB 2.0, and GPIB connectivity * Low-cost, standard 50- or 78-pin Dsub connectors and cables * Detachable terminal blocks with strain relief * Mass interconnect solutions In addition, the 34980A comes with Agilent IO Libraries Suite. Quickly establish an error-free connection between your PC and instruments--regardless of vendor. The IO Libraries provide robust instrument control and work with the software development environment you choose. Easier signal routing with four 2-wire internal analog buses. You can route your measurements directly to the internal DMM, or you can connect to external instruments through the analog bus connector on the rear of the mainframe. And since you have four 2-wire buses, you can dedicate one bus for use with the internal DMM and use the other three buses for module extensions or additional signal routing between modules, reducing your wiring needs. You can define up to 500 switch sequences to control complex signal routing and the order of switch closures. Assign a sequence, give it a name and then execute it with the name you created. Switch sequences are downloaded and stored in the instrument for ease of programming and increased throughput. External trigger capabilities make it easy for you to time and synchronize measurements and other events. This can help you determine when to begin or end an acquisition. Measurements you can trust Get proven performance from Agilent instruments, with the resolution, repeatability, speed, and accuracy you've come to expect. The 34980A offers built-in signal conditioning and modular flexibility. When you use it with the internal DMM, you can configure each channel independently for the measurements you choose. It includes a variety of features that give you confidence in your measurements: * 61/2 digits of resolution with .004% of accuracy with DC voltage measurements * Alarms per channel--high limit, low limit, or both * Math functions--use Mx+B for custom linear conversions and converting raw inputs * Built-in thermocouple reference for temperature measurements (34921T) * Time-stamped readings * Add more formulas with BenchLink Data Logger Software The integrated DMM is mounted inside the mainframe and does not consume any of the eight user-available slots. You can access the DMM through any switch module that connects to the analog bus, or directly from the analog bus connector on the rear of the mainframe. The internal DMM gives you the flexibility to measure 11 types of inputs: * Temperature with thermocouples, RTDs, or thermistors (with 34921A) * DC and AC voltage * 2- and 4-wire resistance * Frequency and period Modules provide flexible system stimulus and control System control--with analog outputs, open-collector digital outputs, clock generation, and isolated Form-C relays for controlling external devices. Additionally, with the microwave switch/attenuator driver, highfrequency switches and attenuators can be efficiently controlled external to the 34980A mainframe. Analog sources--output either voltage or current. You can configure the 4-channel isolated D/A converter as a point-to-point arbitrary waveform generator that lets you define up to 500,000 points per waveform. Digital patterns--send or receive digital data from your device under test. With onboard memory you can output communication protocols and bit streams or monitor digital input patterns and interrupt when a user-defined pattern is detected. * DC and AC current You can control the DMM directly, or configure it to work in conjunction with the switches. Each switch channel can be configured independently for measurement functions, scale factors and alarm limits. Advanced measurement features such as offset compensation, variable integration time, and delay are also selectable on a per-channel basis. The DMM inputs are shielded and optically isolated from the 34980A's earthreferenced circuitry and computer interface, and as a result, you get up to 300 V of input isolation. This is important for reducing ground-loops and common-mode voltage errors associated with long wiring runs and floating sources. Simple DMM calibration is accomplished with just the analog bus connection on the rear panel of the mainframe. You don't need to remove the mainframe from the rack or dedicate a channel for calibration. 3 Standard interfaces take the hassle out of connecting to your PC Standard Ethernet, USB and GPIB interfaces are included in every mainframe. Use one of the built-in interfaces that is already available in your computer, or if you prefer, GPIB is still available. * USB offers the quickest and easiest connection scheme--it's perfect for small systems and bench connections. * Ethernet offers high-speed connections that allow for remote access and control. Choose a local area network to filter out unwanted LAN traffic and speed up the I/O throughput. Or take advantage of the remote capabilities and distribute your tests worldwide. Use the graphical Web browser to monitor, troubleshoot, or debug your application remotely. * GPIB has many years of proven reliability for instrument communication and can be used in existing GPIB based test systems. Remote access and control The built-in Web browser interface provides remote access and control of the instrument via a Java-enabled browser such as Internet Explorer. Using the Web interface, you can set up, troubleshoot, and maintain your system remotely. * View and modify instrument setup * Open, close, or monitor switches * Send SCPI commands * Define and execute switch scans and switch sequences * View error queue * Get status reports on relay counts, firmware revisions, and more Additionally, since the Web interface is built into the instrument, you can access it on any operating system that supports the Web browser without having to install any special software. Password protection and LAN lock out are also provided to limit access.The Web interface makes it easy to set up, troubleshoot and maintain your system remotely.

Increased relay channel resistance for measurements with load currents below 10 mA can occur on cards that have been out of service or following relay inactivity for periods of greater than 1 week. Switching relays for 2K cycles prior to use may reduce the variation in channel resistance. Applies to the 34921A and 34922A. Agilent recommends the use of 4-wire Ohms for resistance measurements.

Or, if you prefer, the 34933A and 34934A can be configured as a single-wire matrix, increasing the number of channels. The 34933A also has in-rush resistors on each column for added protection. The 34934A also has in-rush protection resistors, but also has an automatic bypass switch for flexibility in making low-level measurements. Row disconnect switches also reduce the capacitance loading when combining modules to create larger matricies. Multiple matrix modules can be combined through the analog bus or the row expansion kit (34934A only) to create a larger matrix. The matrix can then be connected to the internal DMM for easy measurements. 12 R2 R3 R4 Figure 8. 34934A quad 4x32 matrix (1 of 4 matricies shown) Combine your matrix with a multiplexer switch to achieve the desired switching topology and get a lower-cost solution with better specifications. All the matrix switches include a relay counter to help predict when relays need to be replaced. Use the sequencing feature to easily change between different cross-point setups. Note: The 34933A and 34934A have 100 ohm input protection resistors to limit current and protect the reed relays. Table 4.

Bypassing resistors will reduce lifetime of relays. See the rated load relay life characteristics. [6] Limited to 6 W channel resistance power loss per module [7] Power restrictions allow only 20 channels to be closed at one time [8] Protection Resistors: 34933A - 100 5%; 0.5W; TC = 200ppm/C. 34934A - 100 1%; 0.25W; TC = 100ppm/C. If this resistance is not bypassed in the low side source line of a 4-wire resistance measurement, the 100 range is limited. [9] Channel resistance is typically < 1.5 but can go as high as 50 when a channel is used in measurement applications with < 10 mA load current. Increased relay channel resistance for measurements with load currents below 10 mA can occur on cards that have been out of service or following relay inactivity for periods of greater than 1 week. Switching relays for 2K cycles prior to use may reduce the variation in channel resistance. Applies to the 34931A and 34932A. Agilent recommends the use of 4-wire Ohms for resistance measurements. For high accuracy voltage measurements, select the DMM input resistance setting of > 10 G ohms to minimize the impact of relay contact resistance. 13 34980A general-purpose switch modules The 34980A general-purpose switches can be used to route signals or to control other system devices. These switches are ideal for device actuation and switching loads or power supplies. Choose from the following features: * Form C channels up to 1 A, 50 W * Form A channels up to 5 A, 150 W * Armature latching relays * Simultaneous channel switching * Temperature sensor to detect overheating conditions * Connections via standard 50 or 78-pin Dsub cables or detachable terminal block The 34937A is the most versatile generalpurpose switch with 28 Form C channels that can switch up to 1 A of current. In addition, this module has four Form A channels that can switch up to 5 A of current. For power switching applications, the 34938A has 20 5-amp channels in a Form A topology. Each Form A general-purpose switch can handle up to 150 W, enough for many power line- switching applications. For high density applications the 34939A offers 64 Form A channels for switching up to 1A and carry currents up to 2A. The general purpose switches contain latching armature relays where multiple channels can be closed at the same time. Additionally, for switching reactive loads, the optional terminal blocks have pads for snubbing circuits. The built-in relay counter helps predict when relays need to be replaced. Table 5.

This can be useful for switching signals between oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and other RF test equipment. Choose from the following features: * 50- or 75-ohm Quad 4-channel multiplexers The 34941A and 34942A are configured as four independent 1x4 RF multiplexers on a single module. Multiple banks can be connected together to create a larger multiplexer. To prevent ground loops, individual multiplexers are isolated from each other and from the mainframe's chassis. However, the multiplexer channels can be chassis grounded with a simple change. Both 50-ohm and 75-ohm versions are available. * DC to 3 GHz * 30 V, 0.5 A, 10 W 34941A typical initial crosstalk 101 3494xA 301 102 302 COM COM 103 303 104 304 201 401 202 402 COM COM 203 204 403 Quad 1x4 RF VUX 404 xx ohm 0 dB -10 dB -20 dB -30 dB -40 dB -50 dB -60 dB -70 dB -80 dB -90 dB -100 dB Channel to channel Bank to bank 10 MHz 40 MHz 100 MHz 400 MHz 1 GHz Frequency 4 GHz 34941A typical initial insertion loss Figure 10. 34941A Quad 1x4 50 ohm 3 GHz multiplexer 0.0 dB 0.3 dB 0.6 dB 0.9 dB 1.2 dB 1.5 dB 1.8 dB 2.1 dB 2.4 dB 2.7 dB 3.0 dB 10 MHz 40 MHz 100 MHz 400 MHz 1 GHz Frequency 4 GHz 34941A typical initial VSWR 2.0 1.9 1.8 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 10 MHz 40 MHz 100 MHz 400 MHz 1 GHz Frequency 4 GHz 15 34942A typical initial crosstalk 0 dB -10 dB -20 dB -30 dB -40 dB -50 dB -60 dB -70 dB -80 dB -90 dB -100 dB 50 101 COM 50 102 50 201 COM 34946A Dual 1x2 SPOT Terminated Microwave Switch Figure 11. 34946A dual 1x2 SPDT terminated microwave switch 10 MHz 40 MHz 100 MHz 400 MHz 1 GHz 2 GHz Frequency 34942A typical initial insertion loss 0.0 dB 0.3 dB 0.6 dB 0.9 dB 1.2 dB 1.5 dB 1.8 dB 2.1 dB 2.4 dB 2.7 dB 3.0 dB 10 MHz 40 MHz 100 MHz 400 MHz 1 GHz 2 GHz Frequency 34942A typical initial VSWR 2.0 1.9 1.8 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 Banks 2&3 Banks 1&4 10 MHz 16 50 40 MHz 100 MHz 400 MHz 1 GHz 2 GHz Frequency 34946A/47A--from DC to 26.5 GHz For applications where you need only a few high-frequency switches, the 34946A and 34947A offer single-pole, double-throw switches in either 4GHz, 20GHz or 26.5GHz options. These modules internally mount two or three independent Agilent N1810 series coaxial switches. These switches are well known for their excellent insertion loss, isolation and VSWR specifications. Switch read back capabilities allow you to query the position of the switch. You can choose higher density with the unterminated switches, or select the terminated switches to maintain impedance match. 34946A/47A option 001 These modules can also be ordered without switches installed. This give you the capability to install your own N1810 series switches or use the module to control the N1810 Series switches outside the mainframe.

The 34945A/ 34945EXT provides the power and control signals for many of the most popular microwave switches and attenuators. One 34945A/34945EXT combination can drive up to 64 switch coils--that's 32 standard SPDT switches. The 34945A/EXT can be extended by adding additional 34945EXT boards. The first 34945EXT is powered by the mainframe. You can add up to seven additional 34945EXT boards with user supplied power. Multiple switch operations are performed in sequential order, or for faster, simultaneous switching, you can connect an external power supply to the 34945EXT. The Y1150A-Y1155A distribution boards enable simple connections to the external switches. The distribution boards plug onto the 34945EXT and are used to route the power and control signals from the driver module to the switches using standard cables. The 34945A/34945EXT also has sensing capabilities that allows read back of the actual position of the switch or attenuator. Drive signals for LED indicators are also provided to give a visual indication of the switch position. General specifications The following microwave switches and attenuators are supported with the Y1150AY1155A distribution boards: Driver on current (max) 600 mA Driver on voltage (max) 0.5 V @ 600 mA 34945EXT switch drive (64 channels, low side drive mode) Driver off voltage (max) 30 V Driver off leakage current 500 uA * N181x/U9397x series SPDT switches 34945EXT switch drive (64 channels, TTL drive mode) * 8762/3/4 series SPDT switches (screw terminals) Hi output voltage Lo output voltage 0.4 V @ Iin = 20 mA * 8765x coaxial switches Lo input Current 20 mA * 8766x/8767x/8768x multiport switches 34945EXT position indicator sense inputs * 87104x/106x/L710xx/L720xx multiport switches Channels Lo input voltage (max) 0.8 V * 87406x series matrix switches Hi input voltage (min) 2.5 V Input resistance >100 k @ Vin 5 V >20 k @ Vin > 5 V Maximum input voltage 30 V * 87204x/206x series multiport switches * 87606x series matrix switches * 87222x/L7222 transfer switches * 849x and 8490x series attenuators * Other switches and devices through individual screw terminal connections 3 V @ Iout = 2 mA 64 34945EXT switch drive power supply (34945EXT powered by 34945A) Voltage 24 V nominal (external power supply required for switches needing more than 24 V) Current 100 mA continuous + 200 mA (15 msec pulse, 25% duty cycle) 34945EXT external power connection Voltage range 4.75 V to 30 V Y1150A-Y1155A distribution boards required to control switches (ordered separate) Current limit 2A Channels 64 34945EXT extender holds 4 distribution boar Supply voltage 5 V nominal LED drive current 5 mA nominal (prog 1-20 mA) 34945A module LED indicator (Current mode divers) Driver compliance voltage 0.8 V 34945EXT dimensions 11.2" x 4.5" x 1.5" high with distribution boards installed Maximum 8 34945 Ext's per mainframe Switch drive control also available in L4445A and L4490A/91A RF Switch Platform.

It has eight 8-bit digital I/O channels with handshaking, pattern memory, two 10 MHz counters with gate functions, and a programmable clock output. Digital input/output The digital I/O bits are organized into two banks of 32-bits. The I/O bits can be configured and programmed as inputs or outputs in 8-bit channels. The digital outputs can be configured as active drive or open drain outputs with a 10 k pull up. User supplied pull up resistors for up to 5 V outputs are also acceptable. The digital inputs have programmable thresholds up to 5 V for compatibility with most digital logic standards. The onboard pattern memory can be used to select and output digital stimulus or bitstream patterns, or to capture external digital data. Each bank has independent memory and directional control so that one bank can output data while the other captures data. The memory can be divided up to 64 Kbytes per 8-bit channel. Specifically, the digital I/O channels also have: Frequency counter/totalizer The two channels can be used to count digital events, frequency, period, duty cycle, totalize, and pulse width. The counter/ totalizer also includes Max freq 10 MHz (max) 50% duty cycle Vin 0V-5V Min rise/fall time 5usec Totalizer function characteristics * Programmable gate functionality Maximum count 2^32 - 1 (4,294,967,296) * Programmable input thresholds levels 0 V to 3 V Max input freq 10 MHz (max), rising or falling edge programmable Digital input/output characteristics Vin 0V-5V Eight 8-bit channels: 8 bits wide, input or output, non-isolated Gate input 0V-5V Min rise/fall time 5usec Vin 0V-5V Vout 1.65 V - 5V Iout (max) 24 mA Frequency (max) 10 MHz ILoad (max) 400 mA trise + t fall (typ) 6 ns [1] System clock generator characteristics [1, 2] [2] Frequency 20 MHz - 10 Hz configurable divide-by-n 24-bits, programmable on/off Vout 1.65 V - 5 V [3] [5] Handshake lines Vin 0-5V Vout 1.65 - 5 V I out (max) 24 mA Frequency (max) 10 MHz 24 mA Accuracy: 100 ppm [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [4] [2, 4] [2] Configurable by 8-bit channel Lower current drive at lower voltages From memory with handshaking Configurable by bank 5 V, 50 pF load Bank 2 INTR 8...% 8...% * Variable input thresholds from 0 V to 5 V 8...% DIO bank 1...8 8...% [2] [2] I out (max) Bank 1 * Variable active high drive output from 1.65 V to 5 V or open drain * Configurable handshaking protocols including synchronous, and strobe Counter function characteristics INTR Bit0 ** * Bit7 Bit8 * * * Bit15 Bit16 * * * Bit23 Bit24 ** * Bit31 H0 H1 H2 Channel 101 8...% Channel 102 8...% Channel 103 8...% Channel 104 8...% DIO bank 2...8 Bit0 ** * Bit7 Bit8 ** * Bit15 Bit16 * * * Bit23 Bit24 ** * Bit31 H0 H1 H2 Channel 201 Channel 202 Channel 203 Channel 204 * Programmable polarity * Source or sink up to 24 mA with a Imax of 400 mA per module. * Internal alarming for maskable pattern match 32 Bits Counter/ totalizer 1...8 IN Gate Channel 301 Clock out CLK 20 MHz - 10 Hz * 1 hardware pattern interrupt per bank * Connections via standard 78-pin Dsub cables or detachable terminal block 24 Bits 32 Bits Counter/ totalizer 2...8 IN Gate Channel 302 Figure 13. 34950A 64-channel digital I/O 19 34951A 4-channel isolated D/A converter with waveform memory This module has four independent, isolated channels that output DC voltage up to 16 V or DC current up to 20 mA. The gain and offset can be adjusted on-the-fly. Each channel can be controlled manually, or use the onboard memory to download a waveform. The 500k of memory is global and can store up to 32 waveforms. Any waveform can be dynamically allocated among one or more channels and output as a point-topoint arbitrary waveform generator at up to 200k points/sec. You can use the standard sine, square or ramp wave shapes provided or define your own wave shape using over 500,000 points and output to a device under test. There is also a single CLK that can be divided down for each channel independently. The calibration command connects the D/A converters to the internal DMM to be automatically calibrated. Connections to the module can be made via standard 50-pin Dsub cables or a detachable terminal block.

Add 4 ohms uncertainty (typ) for 2-wire ohms function due to conductor and contact resistance variability in the DMM. The 2-wire resistance accuracy can be improved by measuring a short on each channel and using the builtin y = Mx + b scaling function. See User Guide, Chapter 3. The series resistance of the 34923/24/25/33/34 limits the use of the 100 ohms resistance range. Agilent recommends the use of 4-wire ohms for resistance measurements. For high accuracy voltage measurements, select the DMM input resistance setting of > 10 G ohms to minimize the impact of relay contact resistance. [8] For inputs >100mV; for inputs 10mV to 100mV multiply % of reading error X 10; for 1 sec aperture (6 1/2 digits) [9] Specified only for inputs > 10 mA.
