Keysight Technologies Modular Products 34980A Measurements Made Easy Application note Abstract A signiicant and understandable concern with new test system setup is becoming familiar with and programming the instruments. Learning the steps needed to control an instrument can be time consuming if not dificult. Many hours can be spent reading through syntax manuals and performing trial and error tests. When a test system is updated only occasionally, it may be hard to remember the instrument commands and steps required to make changes. This document includes examples with the few steps needed to make measurements using the 34980A's 1) front panel, 2) built-in web interface, and 3) Command Expert software. In a matter of minutes the 34980A will be making measurements, recording the commands sent to the 34980A and creating executable code for your choice of application software. Overview Introduction Learn to make measurements using the Keysight Technologies, Inc. 34980A Switch Measure System (34980A) front panel--remotely from a web page or by programming. Also, see how easy the 34980A is to control using Keysight's Command Expert. Controlling the 34980A can be done easily by three dif-ferent methods: the front panel pushbuttons, the built-in web graphical user interface or by programming directly. Initial testing and coniguration are achieved quickly by using the front panel or the web interface. Developing a software control that can be used in automated test or data acquisition applications is often based on the results of the initial test and coniguration. This document will demonstrate the steps used to setup, test and program the 34980A. Description In this application note we will demonstrate how to easily make measurements and control the 34980A using three different methods:
