Overview

The Keysight 34461A is a 6.5 digit Truevolt digital multimeter designed as the industry-standard replacement for the classic 34401A. It features a built-in digitizer for capturing transients and a large color display for real-time trend charts and histograms.

Why Choose This Part

The Truevolt technology significantly reduces measurement noise and injected current, ensuring higher accuracy in real-world conditions. With its 1000V maximum input and NISPOM-compliant file security, it provides a robust and secure solution for sensitive aerospace and defense applications.

Applications

Precision Sensor Calibration
Utilizing 6.5 digits of resolution to verify and calibrate industrial analog sensors and transducers.
Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
Integrating into production racks via LAN/LXI and USB interfaces for high-throughput component testing.
Power Consumption Analysis
Capturing low-level current draws and transient peaks using the integrated digitizer and 2MB of internal memory.
Environmental Stress Screening
Logging long-term voltage or resistance drift across temperature variations in laboratory environments.

Getting Started

Connect the device via the USB or LAN/LXI Core interfaces to utilize Keysight PathWave BenchVue software for remote control and data visualization. Engineers can also use standard SCPI commands to integrate the unit into custom LabVIEW or Python-based automation scripts.
