Keysight Technologies No Programming Required: Multisignal Capture and Analysis with DMMs Measurement Brief Introduction New Keysight BenchVue software reduces the learning curve for DMMs and other instruments by providing an easy way to con- trol them and capture data without having to write a computer program. The application supports older DMM models including the 34401A, 34405A, 34410A, and 34411A. It also supports our latest-generation 34450A, 34460A, and 34461A DMMs. With this application, you spend more time using your instrument and less time learning and troubleshooting it. This measurement brief explores how BenchVue can help you ac- quire multiple signals in parallel and understand the data faster. It helps you quickly synchronize measurements, graph measure- ments and export data in a variety of common formats. First we'll discuss how BenchVue makes setting up communication with a DMM easier, then we'll look at how the application helps you understand your data with ease. We'll conclude with an example that shows how to use two DMMs to make simultaneous voltage and current drain measurements on your device. Snapshot An IC validation engineer needed to characterize a design for a linear regulator. His task was to measure a regulator with an output voltage range of 1 V to 3.3 V with an output current of 150 mA. His first step was to ensure the voltage would stay constant (
