Teststand - multiple reads from DAQ (34970A) at one time

[paulb1]

Hi All,

I'm using teststand 3.5 to test 8 UUT's at one time. I need to take some measurements from the UUT's in parallel to make the test time more efficient. Is it possible to take multiple readings from theDAQ (34970A) at the same instant??

Thanks

Paul

You can set up a scan list to take as many reads as you want. Each channel is read sequentially. Of course, if you are using the parallel model, you can't do this. If you are using the batch model, then you can have a single read.

The 34970 is a very, very slow instrument so you may or may not see much improvement. Be sure you have auto-range turned off.
