The HP/Agilent 34907A is a 20-channel actuator and general-purpose switch module that integrates into the Agilent 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit to enable flexible signal routing and external device control across independent channels. The module delivers multiplexed switching and actuation capabilities for complex automated test, industrial control, and laboratory measurement environments.
Technical Specifications
• Channels: 20 independent channels
• Module Type: Actuator/general-purpose switch module
• Switch Type: General-purpose relays for multiple signal types
• Host Equipment: Agilent 34970A Data Acquisition/Switch Unit
– Key Features
• Modular design inserts directly into the 34970A mainframe
• Standard connectors ensure immediate compatibility with the host unit
• Each of the 20 channels operates independently for precise signal path control
• Relay-based switching handles diverse signal types without configuration constraints
– Typical Applications
• Automated test equipment requiring complex signal multiplexing and switching matrices
• Industrial automation systems for coordinated actuator and sensor control
• Laboratory test setups demanding flexible signal routing and experimental reconfiguration
• System integration projects with multiple discrete switching and actuation points
– Compatibility & Integration
The 34907A mounts directly into designated slots within the 34970A chassis. It connects via standard connectors matched to the mainframe, allowing drop-in integration without additional interface hardware or custom cabling. Multiple modules can be populated within the same 34970A unit to expand channel count and switching density across larger test or control systems.
