Using This Chapter
General Information
Note
Your Digitizer may have experienced temperature extremes during ship-
ment that can affect it's calibration. It is recommened you perform a zero
offset calibration upon receipt using the
command for each channel to realize the accuracy specifications in
Appendix A. See Appendix E for the zero adjustment procedure.
This chapter provides one page of general module information followed by
the tasks you must perform to set up your module and verify your
installation was successful. Chapter contents are:
•
Adding DRAM (PC Memory SIMM) to the Module
•
Setting the Module Address Switch
•
Interrupt Line
•
Input Terminals and Front Panel Indicators
•
3-Wire and 2-Wire Input Cabling Considerations
•
Initial Operation
The HP E1563A (2-channel) and HP E1564A (4-channel) are 800
kSample/second (14-bit resolution) digitizers capable of handling both
continuous and transient voltages up to 256V. They are ideal for
measurements in electomechanical design characterization, particularily in
environments with high levels of electrical noise. They are also ideal for
characterizing electronic and mechanical transient waveforms. You cannot
upgrade an E1563A 2-Channel to an E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer.
Both digitizers are designed to use PC SIMM memory. Memory sizes that
are supported are 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 Mbytes. The large memory can
easily capture transients or act as FIFO to allow continuous digitizing while
unloading data with block mode transfers.
All channels sample simultaneously. The sample can be from an internal
clock derived from the internal time base or it can come from an external
source. Triggering can be set up for several sources with programmable pre
and post trigger reading counts. External time base, trigger and sample
inputs are provided on the front panel "D" subminiature connector.
Both the E1563A and E1564A digitizers are register-based instruments that
can be programmed at the register level (register programming information
is covered in Appendix C) or at a higher level using SCPI or Plug&Play
drivers.
