Multiplexer selection guide
Choose between the broad functionality of the 34901A, the high speed scanning of the 34902A, or the single-ended density of the 34908A. These three modules are the only way to connect to the 34970A/34972A internal DMM. They can be used to scan with external instruments as well.
All multiplexer modules employ break-before-make scanning, ensuring only one closed channel (or channel pair) at a time. Multiple channel closures are allowed on the 34901A and 34902A modules when not configured for scanning.
The 34908A does not allow multiple channel closures at any time.
Mainframe sold separately.
