Performance you can trust
While traditional switching mainframes open/close
relays in sequence, the HP 3499A/B use innovative
parallel driving circuits to open/close switches
simultaneously. The HP 3499A can drive up to 50
channels in 25 ms. The parallel operation of the HP
3499A/B significantly increases the test throughput of
an automated test system.
HP 3499 family also provides high-density modules with
up to 40 channels per module. Two multi-function
modules integrate switching and digital I/O in one
module and enhance system performance.
Powerful flexibility to get your job done
We put in a lot of effort to make the HP 3499 switching
family products as flexible as possible, so that it can be
tailored to meet your needs.
HP 3499 family includes two mainframes. HP 3499A is a
5-slot mainframe and HP 3499B, a 2-slot mainframe.
These two mainframes will accommodate a full range
of 19 different modules, including multiplexer, general
purpose relay, matrix, digital I/O, VHF module, RF
module, microwave module, Form-C relay, and two
special multifunction modules. By combining these
mainframes and modules, test engineers can set up
their test system with fewer modules in less space and
also reduce the cost and complexity of the test system.
Easy to use
Easy-to-use interface means quick test system set-up in
an automatic test environment. From the simplified
configuration procedures, to the self-guiding front
panel interface, to the easy-to-use module connection
accessories, we put in extra time and energy to save
your time and energy. Simple things, like the built-in
relay cycle counters and well-organized user
documentation, allow you to operate the HP 3499A/B
within 20 minutes after taking it out of the box,
resulting in an increased productivity.
Standard RS-232 and GPIB interfaces and SCPI
programming language make your test system
integration easy.
HP 3499 Family Main Features
High throughput in a small space. You can
increase test throughput without adding floor
space.
"Just enough" functionality. Wide range of
modules to select from.
Multi-function modules integrating switching
and digital I/O.
Built-in relay cycle counters for ease of
preventative maintenance.
Easy wiring for simplifying cabling and
increasing reliability. Users can now have
simple, robust interconnections for system set-
up and fast module exchange.
What can you expect from a high-speed and
high-density switching system that’s this affordable ?
