3700A Systems Switch/Multimeter
The Model 3706A system switch with high performance DMM contains six slots for plug-in cards in a compact 2U high enclosure that easily accommodates the needs of medium to high channel count applications. When fully loaded, a mainframe can support up to 576 two-wire multiplexer channels for unrivaled density and economical per channel costs. The result is a tightly integrated switch and measurement solution that’s equally at home on the bench or in the rack. See all digital multimeters »

| Features | Benefits |
| Four configuration options available | Allows buying the minimum functionality the application requires: with or without DMM, with or without front panel display and keypad. |
| Embedded Test Script Processor (TSP®) | Avoids communication delays between the PC controller and instrument by embedding test scripts in the instrument itself, improving test throughput dramatically. |
| TSP-Link® master/slave connection | Offers easy system expansion between mainframes; also allows connecting to other TSP-Link enabled instruments such as Series 2600B SourceMeter SMU instruments. |
| Python Drivers Support | Harness the power of native Python commands for controlling instruments and eliminate tedious manual parsing. At your fingertips you’ll find your favorite IDE, such as VS Code or PyCharm. Learn more. |
| Optional 7½-digit DMM is connected to the mainframe’s analog backplane | Ensures a high quality signal path from each card channel to the multimeter. |
| Optional DMM capable of >14,000 readings/second to memory at 3½ digits | Supports high throughput component testing. |
| Front panel USB 2.0 device port | Simplifies transfer of readings, system configurations, and test scripts by allowing them to be saved to memory sticks. |
| Built-in LXI/Ethernet, GPIB, and USB interfaces | Supports easy connectivity with other equipment in the test system. |
| Fourteen programmable digital I/O lines | Allows easy control of external devices like component handlers or other instruments. |
