    VTI Instruments Corp. NOTE In a mixed thermocouple system, it is very easy to accidentally mismatch the hardware setup and the software configuration setup.

    VTI Instruments Corp. CALIBRATION In order to deliver high measurement accuracy over a wide ambient operating temperature range, the EX10xxA provides the ability to perform an instrument self-calibration. During self-calibration, the input signal conditioning paths are disconnected from the input jacks and connected instead to a calibration bus that is driven by an internal calibration source.

    www.vtiinstruments.com NOTE Self calibration is not applicable for RX1032 since during factory calibration process each instrument will be calibrated in precise manner and calibrated data gets stored in the instrument memory.

VTI Instruments P/N: 70-0304-000 provides two termination assemblies, which is sufficient to connect any number of instruments, since a termination is only needed at each end.

  • Page 67: Locking

    www.vtiinstruments.com In addition to a single-master/multiple-slaves configuration, the LXI Trigger Bus can be configured in Wired-OR mode. This mode allows multiple instruments to bring an LXI Trigger Bus channel to a “1” state. The channel will only go back to “0” when all instruments have released it. This is useful if multiple instruments in parallel operation must all complete before another instrument can begin its operations.

  • Page 68: Retrieving Data

    VTI Instruments Corp. The amount of scans that can be buffered within the memory is dependent on the number of channels in the scan list and the requested data format. For this reason, very long scan sequences (in terms of count) will benefit from a minimization of the data format, so as to maximize the number of scans that can be stored.

  • Page 69: User-Defined Conversions

    www.vtiinstruments.com DEFINED ONVERSIONS The EX10xxA nominally accepts standard thermocouple types and performs its thermocouple calculations using polynomial coefficients from the NIST ITS-90 Thermocouple Database. In some applications, however, a user may want to override the embedded coefficients with a user-defined coefficient set.

  • Page 70: Section 4

    VTI Instruments Corp. ECTION TRIGGERING VERVIEW The EX10xxA supports a full function trigger model with a separate arm source and trigger source event structure. The trigger model is based on the industry standard SCPI 1999 Trigger Subsystem and is diagramed in Figure 4-2.

  • Page 71: Events

    www.vtiinstruments.com The trigger model is sectioned into five layers: IDLE, INIT, ARM, TRIG, and DEVICE. The EX10xxA reset condition places it in the IDLE state. A trigger initialize command begins the acquisition sequence by transitioning the instrument through the INIT layer into the ARM layer. As this occurs, the reading buffer memory is cleared, and all enabled limit events are reset to their default states.

  • Page 72: Maximizing Measurement Performance

    VTI Instruments Corp. The instrument’s internal system timer generates ticks at the specified timer interval, where each tick represents a unique event. For example, a TRIG event source set to Timer at a timer interval of 0.005 s will generate internal triggers at a rate of 200 Hz.

  • Page 73: Maximum Trigger Rate

    www.vtiinstruments.com If the desired trigger model configuration requires the use of the digital I/O port and/or the trigger bus, it is thus best to configure the ARM source for the required digital event, leaving the TRIG source as Timer. The TRIG source should be changed from Timer only in the situation where triggering is required on a two-stage digital event.
