DAQ973A data-acquisition system<\/a><\/strong> is a three-slot modular mainframe unit that comes with a choice of nine plug-in modules and offers a sampling rate of 800 kSa\/s.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nKeysight has re-used its measurement engine from its high-end test and measurement equipment inside the DAQ973A to deliver proven measurement performance, modular flexibility and universal inputs with built-in signal conditioning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unit also offers a built-in 6\u00bd-digit (22-bit) digital multimeter with a DCV accuracy of 0.003%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similar to the existing DAQ970A system, this new system comes with additional GPIB connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key features of the unit include a scan rate of up to 450 channels, delivering speed and accuracy to achieve fast results; up to 120 channels per system; and a large selection of switch, RF and control plug-in modules, including a new four-channel simultaneous sampling digitiser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unit can also measure and convert 12 different input signals, including temperature with a thermocouple, RTDs and thermistor; DC\/AC volts; two- and four-wire resistance networks; frequency and period; and DC\/AC current and capacitance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also released is a new four-channel simultaneous sampling digitiser module with 800 kSa\/s sampling. This module is an addition to the existing eight modules in the data-acquisition system. These modules work with both the new DAQ973A system that comes with GPIB, LAN and USB, as well as the existing DAQ970A system that comes without GPIB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical users are expected to be test engineers and technicians across a wide range of professional and industrial applications, including R&D and bench-testing prototypes; design verification for environmental, durability and regulatory applications; in automated testing and process monitoring in manufacturing environments; as well as monitoring and troubleshooting in service and maintenance roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the unit is also expected to be used in educational establishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional features of the DAQ973A include a large 4.3-inch colour display, plus GPIB, LAN and USB connectivity. In addition, users can interface the unit via the manufacturer\u2019s BenchVue DAQ software, which includes enhanced time- and frequency-domain measurement capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
