The Keysight 34923A is a 40/80-channel Reed Multiplexer module for the 34980A Multifunction Switch/Measure Unit mainframe. It delivers high-speed switching for automated test applications and data acquisition tasks, supporting flexible channel configurations: 40 two-wire channels, 80 one-wire channels, or mixed 2-wire and 4-wire arrangements on a single module. Reed relays enable scan rates up to 500 channels per second when connected to the mainframe’s internal DMM.
– Technical Specifications
