Hook your 34980A data acquisition system (195-3167) up to other components with this digital I/O module from Keysight Technologies. It packs a punch as you can use it to detect or simulate digital patterns up to 10MHz. The module features eight 8-bit digital I/O channels with handshaking protocols, allowing them to interact with various input and output devices without a hitch. For enhanced efficiency, you can use one bank to send data to your process control devices while the other receives data from your sensors.

• Standard 78-pin D-sub connection for easy compatibility
• Two-channel frequency counter and totaliser monitors parameters such as frequency, period, duty cycle and pulse width for versatility

• Medical technology
• Consumer electronics
• Product research

A handshaking protocol is a quick burst of data used to establish a connection between a computer and an external device. It provides devices with rules on how to share data, including information on the coding alphabet, transfer rate and more. This helps to ensure smoother communications across your network.
