Description
An empty mainframe is only as useful as the modules in its slots. However, that flexibility is the point of the Keysight DAQ973A data acquisition mainframe, which has three slots and a 6.5-digit DMM built in. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so you can configure it for one project or for a permanent rack.
Choosing modules for three slots
The slots accept, for example, multiplexer, matrix, RF, actuator, digital-I/O and digitizer modules. Therefore the module mix decides what you can scan, switch and capture. With a supported module, scan rates reach 450 channels per second. Also, a DAQM909A digitizer module raises the digitizer rate to 800 kSa/s, and the system can carry up to 120 channels, depending on the modules.

| Maximum channels | Up to 120, module dependent |
The built-in meter
Meanwhile, the internal DMM measures voltage, current, resistance, frequency and temperature. Autocalibration compensates for drift caused by time and temperature, which keeps long logging runs steady. That matters, for instance, when a chamber test lasts for days.
Software and control
BenchVue and web control also suit bench logging. GPIB support also lets the Keysight DAQ973A data acquisition mainframe join older automated systems. Because three interfaces are available, you can pick the one that fits your rack or your laptop.
Where the mainframe fits
Typical uses include, for example, temperature and environmental data logging, plus production and burn-in test systems. Battery, power and electromechanical monitoring also fit. Automated switching, scanning and mixed-signal acquisition round out the list.
Plan the configuration first
Modules are configuration-specific, so the quote must name each one. First, tell Lost in HCM the channel count, the sensors, the scan rate and the logging period. Then the offer matches your test. A rental suits a survey that ends on a set date, while a purchase suits a station that scans daily with the Keysight DAQ973A data acquisition mainframe.

DAQ973A questions
Do modules come with the mainframe?
Not automatically, because modules are configuration-specific, so identify each one separately in the quote.
What does 450 channels per second mean?
It is the maximum scan rate, reached with a supported module, so your own rate depends on the modules you choose.
How many channels can I reach?
Up to 120, because the count depends on the modules in the three slots.
