Rigol MC3534 – Multifunction module

The Rigol MC3534 is a multifunction module that expands the Rigol M300 Data Acquisition System Mainframe with three distinct signal processing functions. Each function operates on four independent channels, delivering digital input/output, event counting via totalizer inputs, and precision analog signal generation. The module is built for R&D, electronic circuit testing, and educational laboratory environments where flexible mixed-signal I/O is required.
