The Keithley 2700 Digital Multimeter Data Acquisition Data Logging System w/2 Slots combines precision measurement, switching, and control in a single, tightly integrated enclosure for either rack-mounted, or for benchtop applications. This cost-effective, high-performance test platform offers an affordable alternative to separate DMMs and switch systems, dataloggers/recorders, plug-in card data acquisition equipment, and VXI/PXI systems. The Integra Series plug-in switching and control modules offer unmatched flexibility and testing efficiency for a wide range of industries and applications. System builders can create test solutions with a combination of channel count, cost per channel, and system performance unmatched by any other, single-box measurement system. The input modules provide the flexibility to vary the channel count from 20 to 200 (2-pole), apply a stimulus to the device under test, route signals, control system components, and make precision measurements with up to 14 functions. Robust digital I/O capabilities can be used for triggering, handshaking with other automation equipment, and alarm limit outputs. Scan rates of up to 500 channels/second (up to 3500 readings/second on a single channel) will increase test productivity.

Fast Setup and Operation

The 2700 is a fully-integrated, off-the-shelf measurement and control system. Its DMM-like interface makes it easy for users to collect data and/or perform troubleshooting within minutes of installation and startup. Once sensor or DUT leads are hooked to the instrument's input, use the front panel controls to select the measurement function, range, filtering, scaling, trigger source, scanning sequence, alarms, and more. The TestPoint runtime start-up software makes it easy to configure and use the system in a graphical "point-and-click" environment. This gives developers the basic tools necessary to create a simple application without writing program code.

The Advantage of Integrated Design

The 2700 offers a variety of advantages over existing solutions for ATE and data acquisition applications. For example, its flexible modular architecture and integrated measurement, switching, and control capabilities save rack space by reducing the number of separate instruments needed. This design also simplifies expanding the system as the number of channels grows, or it can be re-purposed as new test requirements evolve. Integrated signal conditioning, scaling, stimulus, filtering and I/O capabilities eliminate the need for external circuitry when designing and building data acquisition systems. The 2700 provides accuracy and repeatability superior to plugin data acquisition boards, while providing faster test times than typical DMM/switch systems. This makes it possible to combine higher test yields with higher test throughput.

Software Solutions

Whether the task calls for a simple start-up package to acquire several channels of data or the tools to create a fully custom acquisition and analysis solution, Keithley has the software needed to get the most performance from a 2700 Logging System with a broad range of software solutions. This makes it easy to get applications "up & running" quickly and economically.
