The HP 3497 A Data Acquisition/Control Unit combines the capabilities of several instruments and is a basic building block of an automatic data acquisition and control system. The HP 3497 A will be used in an HP-IB automated system and can be viewed as a precision measurement and control computer peripheral. The HP 3497 A has been designed to be a very versatile and very powerful instrument. A basic HP 3497 A consists of a mainframe that includes a front panel keyboard and display, a non-volatile real time clock, and an HP-IB interface. Available as an option is a 5 ½ digit integrating digital voltmeter and current source that occupies a dedicated slot in the HP 3497 A chassis. Capability is added to the HP 3497 A by using any combination of plug-in assemblies.
There is a variety of plug-in assemblies available (if in stock), they are listed separately:
* Relay multiplexers with or without thermocouple compensation
* FET multiplexer
* Digital input/interrupt
* Counters
* Strain gage/bridge completion
* Actuators
* Programmable voltage and current D/As
* Broadboard assembly
