... If you are considering replacing the 34401A in your test system, all you need put the 34410A or 34411A in emulation mode using the “SYSTem:LANGuage 34401A” command. You do not have to rewrite your tests – except to compensate for a ...

... DMMs. The next section, “Understanding Fast Measurements,” will show you how to configure your DMM for these measurements. Precision measurements with high NMR The 34410A and 34411A use a special aperture-shaping algorithm to increase normal mode rejection (NMR) of power-line-related noise in DC measurements increasing and decreasing series of weighted averages of multiple measurements ...

... Key points: • You did not have to drag a computer along to set up measurements. • Set up was very easy from the front panel. • The 34410A is small and easily transportable. • You did not need to write or load a program to gather the data. ...

... Having to digitize to get peak information takes time Figure signal with an AC signal The 34410A and 34411A DMMs provide a secondary measurement function called peak measurements that you can activate when you make precision DCV (or ACV) measurements. Here is an ...
Page 7
In manufacturing, the goal is to minimize test time, so the combination of precision DCV and peak measurements can significantly reduce test time compared to making individual DCV and ACV measurements or digitizing and processing the signal. The additional benefit ...

... DMM. If the DMM does not have effective input protection, the input circuitry can eventually fail after continued abuse. The 34410A and 34411A use a direct sampling technique to make AC RMS measurements. Relative to analog RMS calcu- lations, the direct sampling technique offers four primary ...

Level triggering with scope- like waveform capture Aerospace and automotive applications are replete with mechanical-electrical signals. There are mechanical parts that oscillate, vibrate, and experience tension or compres- sion. The frequency content of these signals is relatively low, often less ...

... An external trigger event can start a single measurement or a burst of measurements spaced by the sample timer. Figure 5 illustrates the concept of a separate trigger delay and sample intervals. Sample intervals can be as low at 100 µs for the 34410A and 20 µs for the 34411A. ...

... DMMs directly to sensors with all external trigger inputs in parallel to a single trigger event. The 34410A and 34411A use hardware coupling to connect external trigger inputs to the measurement engine. Trigger latency or jitter is less than 1 µs, so multiple 34411A DMMs ...

... Integration Time (NPLC) Figure 9. The entire measurement speed spectrum of the 34410A and 34411A DMMs This chart represents straight- through signal processing – the 10 V range. The following table shows how noise affects resolu- tion of different measurement functions. Operating Characteristics ...

... Aperture is the time the A-to-D spends integrating the applied signal. The minimum DC apertures for the 34410A and 34411A are 100 µs and 20 µs, respectively. Aperture resolu- tion is 20 µs; therefore, the highest sample rate for the 34411A readings/s – ...
Page 15
... The aperture setting is set to MIN. For the 34410A, this would be 100 µs. For the 34411A, 20 µs is the MIN. The same commands can be used for DCI, ohms, or temperature – but you have to change the VOLT to CURR, RES, FRES, or TEMP. Autozero cannot be turned off when making four-wire ohms measurements ...

... How to set up various triggering scenarios The 34410A and 34411A have two triggering models. The models are illustrated in Figure 10. When you use the SCPI com- mands shown in the previous section, the count and delay pacing model is implied. If the trigger delay is zero, the ...

... The Advantages of a Built-In Web Server The 34410A and 34411A have a built-in Web server that provides a very powerful configuration, diagnosis, and programming tool. All you need is a LAN connection, Web browser, and the DMM’s IP address. If your computer can access eBay.com, you can access a 34410A/11A from anywhere ...
