Keysight 3852A Data Acquisition/Control Unit

Mainframe Supports

• 8 Function Module Slots
• Data Acquisition Operating System
• System Timer
• Measurement Pacer
• Full Alphanumeric Keyboard, Command and Result Displays

Benefits

Make real-time decisions and reduce data without burdening your computer:

• Multitasking operating system prioritizes and timeslices tasks
• Powerful Keysight 3852A command statements simplify complex measurements
• Execution speed of command sequences are enhanced by executing subroutines stored in the 3852A memory
• Built-in, easy-to-use transducer conversions are supported for thermocouples, thermistors, RTDs and strain gauges
• Post-processing and data reduction before transferring results to a computer are achievable by first storing data to the 3852A internal memory
• Limit checking of analog measurements is performed in real time or after the measurements have been stored in mainframe memory

Optimize measurement timing and throughput to meet your needs:

• Real-time interrupts allow higher priority tasks and external inputs to be serviced at any time
• Asynchronous communication with a computer is achieved through input and output buffering
• Control can be timed using built-in clock and alarm capabilities (can cause an interrupt)
• A built-in pacer simplifies measurement timing and triggering
• Multiple voltmeters can be used. The high-speed voltmeter can control scanning, timing, and triggering of its own high-speed FET multiplexer subsystem via ribbon cable. Several of these subsystems can run simultaneously
