What it is

The 3400A is a true root-mean-square voltmeter.[2][3]

How it works

A true root-mean-square voltmeter indicates a value proportional to the heating effect of the input waveform.[2]

The 3400A has a rear-panel dc output that can drive external recorders or other measuring instruments.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The 3400A can support measurements of audio signals, radio-frequency signals, broadband noise, and pulse waveforms.[2]

Applications

The 3400A is used for alternating-current and direct-current voltage measurement tasks that require true root-mean-square indication.[2]

The 3400A is suitable for higher-resolution readings through an external recorder or digital voltmeter connected to its dc output.[2]

Frequently asked questions

What type of instrument is the Agilent 3400A?

The Agilent 3400A is a true root-mean-square voltmeter.[2][3]

What kinds of measurements is the 3400A used for?

The 3400A is used for audio measurements, most radio-frequency measurements, broadband noise measurements, and fast-rise pulse measurements.[2]

Does the 3400A provide an output for external instruments?

The 3400A provides a rear-panel dc output for connection to an X-Y plotter, strip chart recorder, or digital voltmeter.[2]

What does the 3400A dc output represent?

The dc output provides a linear zero to one volt drive proportional to meter deflection.[2]
