This unit

The Agilent/Keysight 34980A is an eight-slot mainframe designed for automated switching, data acquisition, and measurement in test, R&D, and manufacturing environments. This modular platform integrates multiple plug-in cards into a single chassis, enabling custom configurations for diverse switching topologies and analog/digital measurements. The unit delivers scan rates up to 1000 channels per second and supports LXI Class C compliance with LAN, USB 2.0, and GPIB connectivity.
