HP BenchLink Data Logger Software at a Glance

HP BenchLink Data Logger is a Windows-based application designed

to make it easy to use the HP 34970A with your PC for gathering and

analyzing measurements. Use the software to set up your test, acquire

and archive measurement data, and perform real-time display and

analysis of your incoming measurements.

HP BenchLink Data Logger’s key functions include the following:

•Configure measurements on the spreadsheet-like Scan Setup page.

•Display measurements graphically using the real-time Data Grid,

Strip Chart, Readout, Bar Meter, XY Plot, and Histogram windows.

•Add or configure graphics at any time.

•Use graphical controls to set output voltages, close channels, output

digital values, or view alarms.

•Copy measurement data and graphics to a file or to the Clipboard for

use in other applications.

•Add textual annotation and explanations to measurement results and

test reports.

•Track readings on a single channel through the Monitor toolbar.

•Enter information into the Event Log automatically or manually

while acquiring measurement data or during post-scan analysis.

•Print scan setups, event logs, and graphics.

•Communicate with the instrument using HP-IB, RS-232, modem,

or LAN (using a LAN-to-HP-IB gateway).

To install the software, refer to “Installing HP BenchLink Data Logger

Software” on page 18.

On-Line Help System for HP BenchLink Data Logger.

The Plug-In Modules at a Glance

For complete specifications on each plug-in module, refer to the module

sections in chapter 9.

HP 34901A 20-Channel Armature Multiplexer

•20 channels of 300 V switching

•Two channels for DC or AC current measurements (100 nA to 1A)

•Built-in thermocouple reference junction

•Switching speed of up to 60 channels per second

•Connects to the internal multimeter

•For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 164.

Each of the 20 channels switches both HI and LO inputs, thus providing

fully isolated inputs to the internal multimeter. The module is divided

into two banks of 10 two-wire channels each. When making four-wire

resistance measurements, channels from Bank A are automatically

paired with channels from Bank B. Two additional fused channels are

included on the module (22 channels total) for making calibrated DC or

AC current measurements with the internal multimeter (external shunt

resistors are not required). You can close multiple channels on this

module only if you have not configured any channels to be part of the

scan list. Otherwise, all channels on the module are break-before-make.

HP 34902A 16-Channel Reed Multiplexer

•16 channels of 300 V switching

•Built-in thermocouple reference junction

•Switching speed of up to 250 channels per second

•Connects to the internal multimeter

•For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 166.

Use this module for high-speed scanning and high-throughput

automated test applications. Each of the 16 channels switches both

HI and LO inputs, thus providing fully isolated inputs to the internal

multimeter. The module is divided into two banks of eight two-wire

channels each. When making four-wire resistance measurements,

channels from Bank A are automatically paired with channels from

Bank B. You can close multiple channels on this module only if you have

not configured any channels to be part of the scan list. Otherwise, all

channels on the module are break-before-make.

HP 34903A 20-Channel Actuator/General-Purpose Switch

•300 V, 1 A actuation and switching

•SPDT (Form C) latching relays

•Breadboard area for custom circuits

•For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 168.

Use this module for those applications that require high-integrity

contacts or quality connections of non-multiplexed signals. This module

can switch 300 V, 1 A (50 W maximum switch power) to your device

under test or to actuate external devices. Screw terminals on the module

provide access to the Normally-Open, Normally-Closed, and Common

contacts for each of the 20 switches. A breadboard area is provided near

the screw terminals to implement custom circuitry, such as simple

filters, snubbers, or voltage dividers.

HP 34904A 4x8 Two-Wire Matrix Switch

•32 two-wire crosspoints

•Any combination of inputs and outputs can be connected at a time

•300 V, 1 A switching

•For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 170.

Use this module to connect multiple instruments to multiple points on

your device under test at the same time. You can connect rows and

columns between multiple modules to build larger matrices such as

8x8 and 4x16, with up to 96 crosspoints in a single mainframe.

HP 34905/6A Dual 4-Channel RF Multiplexers

•HP 34905A (50Ω) / 34906A (75Ω)

•2 GHz bandwidth with on-board SMB connections

•1 GHz bandwidth with SMB-to-BNC adapter cables provided

•For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 172.

These modules offer wideband switching capabilities for high frequency

and pulsed signals. Each module is organized in two independent banks

of 4-to-1 multiplexers. Both modules offer low crosstalk and excellent

insertion loss performance. To create larger RF multiplexers, you can

cascade multiple banks together. Only one channel in each bank may be

closed at a time.

HP 34907A Multifunction Module

•Two 8-bit Digital Input/Output ports, 400 mA sink, 42 V open collector

•100 kHz Totalize input with 1 Vpp sensitivity

•Two ±12 V Calibrated Analog Outputs

•For detailed information and module block diagrams, see page 174.

Use this module to sense status and control external devices such as

solenoids, power relays, and microwave switches. For greater flexibility,

you can read digital inputs and the count on the totalizer during a scan.

HP 34908A 40-Channel Single-Ended Multiplexer

•40 channels of 300 V single-ended (common LO) switching

•Built-in thermocouple reference junction

•Switching speed of up to 60 channels per second

•Connects to the internal multimeter

•For detailed information and a module diagram, see page 176.

Use this module for high-density switching applications which require

single-wire inputs with a common LO. All relays are break-before-make

to ensure that only one relay is connected at any time.
