Introduction
The Model 3723 has two independent banks of high-speed 1×30 two-pole multiplexers that are ideal for
high-speed scanning applications. The two banks can be automatically connected to the Series 3700A
mainframe backplane and an optional digital multimeter (DMM) through the analog backplane connection relays.
This connection allows the mainframe to reconfigure the Model 3723 as a single 1×30 four-pole multiplexer or as
a single 1×120 single-pole multiplexer. It also enables card-to-card expansion for even larger configurations.
By using high-speed reed relays with actuation times of less than 0.5 ms, this card can meet demanding
throughput applications. Another feature of the 3723 is its single-ended, one-pole mode, which supports up to
120 channels of single-wire measurements.
The 3723 uses two 78-pin D-sub connectors for signal connections. For screw-terminal connections, use the
Model 3723-ST for two and four-pole configurations. For more information regarding available cards and
accessories, refer to the Series 3700A System Switch/Multimeter and Plug-in Cards datasheet, available at
tek.com/keithley.
The 3723 card is shown in the following figure.
Item shipped may vary from model pictured here.
This document describes how to install the plug-in card and make connections to it. For information on scanning,
and on reading, writing, and controlling channels, refer to the Series 3700A System Switch/Multimeter Reference
Manual, available at tek.com/keithley.
