The handbook is available for no charge at http://www.keithley.info/switchhandbook

The handbook is divided into seven sections and discusses topics such as:
· The switching function and switching components
· Issues in switch system design
· Switch configurations by signal type
· Applications

It also features three appendices, including a glossary of commonly used switching terms, switch card and switch module selector guides, and a discussion of safety considerations.

This edition also includes information on the Series 3700 System Switch/Multimeter and Plug-in Card Family, Keithley's next-generation platform of switching and integrated digital multimeter (DMM) test solutions. The Series 3700 offers high quality, instrument grade switching for a wide variety of applications, including the performance demands of high channel count applications, with its ability to control up to 576 multiplexer channels in an industry-leading six-slot, 2U form factor. A high-performance integrated DMM option provides fast, low-noise measurements with resolutions up to 7½-digits at a price lower than typical 6½-digit DMMs.
