The Agilent/Keysight 35651C is the central processing module for the HP 3565S Multichannel Measurement System, managing system operations, data acquisition, and real-time signal processing across multiple measurement channels. It executes downloadable measurement programs, controls data flow to disk storage, and communicates with host computers via HP-IB while supporting external synchronization and triggering of multiple systems.
