Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
How it works
The Agilent 3488 A uses latching relays on certain option assemblies, which means the relay state is maintained even when power is removed. The relay states can only be altered through front panel control or program control. In the event of power or equipment failure, a failsafe method must be provided by the installer to ensure circuits are in a known state.[4]
