Model 3706A Digital Multimeter Six Slots System Switch w/USB/Ethernet/GPIB0 pages

The Series 3700A offers scalable, instrument grade switching
and multi-channel measurement solutions that are optimized for
automated testing of electronic products and components. The
Series 3700A includes four versions of the Model 3706A system
switch mainframe along with a growing family of plug-in switch
and control cards. When the Model 3706A mainframe is ordered
with the high performance multimeter, you receive a tightly
integrated switch and measurement system that can meet the
demanding application requirements in a functional test system
or provide the flexibility needed in stand-alone data acquisition
and measurement applications.

Maximizes System Control and Flexibility
To provide users with greater versatility when designing test
systems, the Series 3700A mainframes are equipped with many
standard features. For example, easy connectivity is supported
with three remote interfaces: LXI/Ethernet, General Purpose
Interface Bus (GPIB), and Universal Serial Bus (USB). Fourteen
digital I/O lines are also included, which are programmable
and can be used to control external devices such as component handlers or other instruments.
Additionally, system control can be greatly enhanced by using our Test Script Processor (TSP) technology. This technology provides “smart” instruments with the ability to perform distributed processing and control at the instrument level versus a central PC.
High Quality Switching at a Value Price
The Series 3700A builds upon Keithley’s tradition of producing innovative, high quality, precise signal
switching. This series offers a growing family of high density and general purpose plug-in cards that
accommodates a broad range of signals at very competitive pricing. The Series 3700A supports applica­
tions as diverse as design validation, accelerated stress testing, data acquisition, and functional testing.

Model 3706A Mainframe
The Series 3700A includes the base Model 3706A system switch/multimeter mainframe with three
options for added flexibility. This mainframe contains six slots for plug-in cards in a compact 2U high
(3.5 inches/89mm) enclosure that easily accommodates the needs of medium to high channel count
applications. When fully loaded, a mainframe can support up to 576 two-wire multiplexer channels
or 2,688 one-pole matrix crosspoints for unrivaled density and economical per channel costs.
High Performance, 7½-digit Multimeter (DMM)
The high performance multimeter option provides up to 7½-digit measurements, offering 26-bit
resolution to support your ever-increasing test accuracy requirements. This flexible resolution supplies a DC reading rate from >14,000 readings/second at 3½ digits to 60 readings/second at 7½ digits
to accommodate a greater span of applications.
