The HP 3437A is a system voltmeter that samples and displays the instantaneous value of the input voltage 200 µs after being triggered. The HP 3437A includes an HP-IB interface for system integration.^[1]

How it works

As a system voltmeter, the 3437 A samples the instantaneous value of an input voltage and, after analog-to-digital conversion, displays the value and can output it onto the HP-IB bus when addressed to talk. The sampling begins 200 µs after the instrument is triggered. The instrument can be programmed to delay an external trigger by a user-selectable interval from 0 to 0.9999999 seconds in 100 ns steps.^[1]
