The Agilent/Keysight 69770A is a modular data acquisition mainframe that integrates a 6½ digit (22-bit) internal Digital Multimeter with flexible plug-in module architecture for switching and signal conditioning. The 3-slot mainframe supports up to eight optional modules, enabling configurations with up to 120 single-ended channels, 96 matrix cross-points, or 60 channels per instrument depending on module selection. It delivers 0.004% basic DCV accuracy with ultra-low reading noise across 11 measurement functions including temperature, DC/AC volts, 2- and 4-wire resistance, frequency, period, DC/AC current, capacitance, and direct and bridge strain measurements.
