Maximizing Dynamic Range

Autoranging to maximize the dynamic range of measurements in the AGILENT 35670A can function on all channels simultaneously. Therefore all capability previously mentioned for single-channel front-end ranging is available for dual- channel operation.

To set up autorange on all channels, follow these steps:

•Press the [Input] hardkey.

•Press [ALL CHANNELS] softkey (F2).

•Select the [CH* AUTO RANGE] softkey (F6)

For signals that are not steady, use CH* AUTO UP ONLY. CH1 AUTO UP ONLY can be used for all channels to set up modal impact testing. To set up this condition:

•Press the [Input] hardkey.

•Select the [CH* AUTO UP ONLY] softkey (F5).

To set up the same fixed range on all channels:

•Press the [Input] hardkey.

•Select the [CHANNEL * RANGE] softkey (F3)

•Enter the range, either in units of g or Volts.

Dual Channel Averaging

Averaging to reduce measurement variance applies to all channels being measured. Dual channel averaging is set up the same as single channel averaging:

•Press the [Avg] hardkey.

•Press the [NUMBER AVERAGES] softkey (F2), enter 10, then press the

[ENTER] softkey (F1).

•Press the [AVERAGE TYPE] softkey (F3)

•Press the [RMS] softkey (F1)

•Press the [Avg] hardkey.

•Turn on averaging by pressing the [AVERAGE ON OFF] softkey (F1) until ON is highlighted.
