    Step 4: Determine Instrument Configurations In this step, you determine the instrument configurations that best suit your application. You will create the instruments in the next step “ Step 5: Set Plug-In Module Logical Addresses.” A module can be set up as a single module instrument or as part of a multiple module instrument. For example, many Agilent plug-in modules can be configured as part of a multiple module Scanning Multimeter or Switchbox instrument.
  • Page 15 Scanning Multimeter Instrument The Scanning Multimeter instrument consists of an Agilent E1326B Multimeter and one or more multiplexer modules. In this configuration, the multiplexer modules scan measurement channels and feed the signal through the analog bus to the multimeter where the measurements take place. Programming is simplified because one command controls both the measurement type and the channels to be scanned.
  • Page 16 Switchbox Instrument The Switchbox instrument is composed of one or more switch modules. The single module Switchbox behaves as an independent instrument as described earlier. When using the multiple module Switchbox, all switch modules are programmed together and behave as if they are one instrument.
