Optional terminal blocks available from Keysight automatically provide continuity for these interlock pins. If cables are used, you must provide continuity for the interlock pins in your DUT assembly.

Example - Making current measurements: The following command configures channel 43 for a 34921A modules in slot 7 for dc current measurements, triggers the internal DMM to scan the channel, and then sends the reading to the output buffer of the 34980A. The default settings for range (autorange) and resolution (1 PLC) are used for the measurement.

Low Frequency Multiplexer Modules 34921A 40-Channel Armature Multiplexer with Low Thermal Offset The 34921A 40-Channel Armature Multiplexer (40-Ch Arm MUX) is divided into two banks with 20 latching armature switches (channels 1-20 and 21-40) in each. This module also offers four additional fused relays (channels 41-44) for making AC and DC current measurements with the internal DMM with no external shunts needed.

ABus3. Or, externally you can connect COM1 to COM2 to create this configuration. Low thermal offset voltage makes the 34921A ideal for low-level signal switching. The 34921T optional terminal block provides a built-in thermocouple reference junction that helps minimize errors due to thermal offset when you measure thermocouples.
