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:
