Agilent Technologies 34970A Switch User Manual


 
Multiplexer Switching Multiplexers allow you to connect one of
multiple channels to a common channel, one at a time. A simple 4-to-1
multiplexer is shown below. When you combine a multiplexer with a
measurement device, like the internal
DMM, you create a scanner.
For more information on scanning, see page 62.
Multiplexers are available in several types:
One-Wire (Single-Ended) Multiplexers for common LO measurements.
For more information, see page 379.
Two-Wire Multiplexers for floating measurements. For more
information, see page 379.
Four-Wire Multiplexers for resistance and RTD measurements.
For more information, see page 380.
Very High Frequency (VHF) Multiplexers for switching frequencies
up to 2.8 GHz. For more information, see page 390.
