Speeding up test dev times

Increasing product design complexity necessitates new and challenging test requirements. To ensure effective testing of these complex designs, fast measurements and data logging of multiple signal types is required. Keysight says its DAQ970A provides test engineers with the widest range of measurement types and ranges, fast scan rates and simplified test automation.

DAQ970A leverages the company's BenchVue DAQ application software to facilitate rapid creation of automated tests, instrument control to set parameters and status alerts, and simple analysis of measurement results. Embedded test flow capabilities automate DAQ setups and measurements into test sequences, while a new, graphical front panel display offers self-guiding menus that Keysight says will enable test engineers to quickly perform all tasks directly from the instrument.

"Testing products with greater functionality, in less time, requires the ability to sample more signals, faster," said Chris Cain, vice president of Keysight's Electronic and Industrial Solution Group Center of Excellence. "Precision measurements across a wide range of measurement types is mandatory. Keysight's DAQ970A solution enables engineers to substantially improve design validation through automated testing without programming, expanded measurement options, and fast scan rates."
