Test System Offers High Throughput Switching, LXI Class B, and Optional DMM

September 17th, 2007

The Keithley Instruments Series 3700 System Switch/Multimeter and Plug-in Card Family offers both high-throughput switching and integrated digital multimeter (DMM). It offers instrument grade switching for a wide variety of applications, including high channel count applications, with its ability to control up to 576 multiplexer channels in a six-slot, 2U form factor. A high-performance integrated DMM option provides fast, low-noise measurements with resolutions up to 7-1/2-digits.

The Series 3700 is available with four different mainframe options. For instance, users can choose a mainframe without the integrated DMM as well as one without a front-panel display and keypad. The optional integrated DMM eliminates the need to manually coordinate an external DMM with a switch topology, freeing up valuable development time. Also, a USB 2.0 port on the front panel provides “transportable memory” that allows users to save measurements to non-volatile memory.

The Series 3700 also incorporates Keithley’s Test Script Processor (TSP) technology. TSP brings PC-like functionality into the instrument. It allows users to create test scripts that are embedded in and executed within the instrument.
