Hello, my name is Jim Walters. I'm a senior test engineer with Agilent Technologies, and
today I'd like to talk to you about our new DMM. It's model 34461A. And one of the features
we've designed into this DMM is the ability for it to emulate one of our older DMMs of
which we've sold hundreds of thousands of. That's the 34401A. So what I'm going to do
here is run a little program that will query the new 34461A. It'll come back and it'll
tell me its identification, and then I will program the DMM to emulate the 34401A and
the IDN from after programming it will now be the 34401A. Okay, now I've sent commands
to the box asking what its identification is, and it's coming back and telling me that
it's an Agilent 34461A. Now I'm going to reprogram it to be a 34401A for compatibility with older
systems. And I've just sent the command, and I've asked the box what its IDN is, and it's
coming back as a Hewlett Packard 34401A. Now I've written a program that I designed it
for the 34401A, and I'm going to run this same program on our new 34461A, and the results
should be the same. So I'll quickly go through and make a DC measurement, make an AC measurement,
and then make a frequency measurement, and you'll see the results. There's four volts,
six volts, finally eight volts DC. Now we'll switch to the AC measurements. That was one
volt, two volts, three volts, four volts, and finally five volts AC. And now I'm going
to switch to measuring frequency with ten hertz, twenty hertz, thirty hertz, forty hertz,
fifty hertz, and finally sixty hertz. Okay, now that I've ran this program on our new
box, I'm going to show that you can run the same program on our older box. Okay, so now
we're on our 34401A. We're measuring two volts DC, four volts DC, six volts DC, eight volts
DC. Now we're going to switch to the AC mode, and we have our one volt AC, two volts AC,
three volts AC, four volts AC, and five volts AC. Now we'll be switching to the frequency
measurements. There's our ten hertz, twenty hertz, thirty hertz, forty hertz, fifty hertz,
and finally sixty hertz. Thank you for watching this demo. In conclusion, I'd like to highlight
that I've showed you that you can swap out an existing 34401 with our new 34460 and 61A,
and that we've went through a lot of efforts to make these products compatible. In my testing
assignment, I put a new DMM on our existing regression test, ran hundreds and hundreds
of tests to verify that the new DMM works the same as the old one. All the existing
commands for the 34401A are going to work on this box. So this demo was just a small
sample showing you the compatibility, but we have done some very extensive testing on
compatibility so that you won't have any issues. Thank you very much.
