•
Strain measurements require the use of Bridge Completion Signal Conditioning
Plug-ons.
•
Bridge Completion SCPs provide the strain measurement bridges and their
excitation voltage sources.
are to measure the bridge outputs. Measuring channels on a Bridge Completion
SCP only returns that SCP's excitation source voltage.
•
The range parameter: The HP E1413 has five ranges: .0625 VDC, .25 VDC,
< >
1 VDC, 4 VDC, and 16 VDC. To select a range, simply specify the range value
(for example, 4 selects the 4 VDC range). If you specify a value larger than one of
the first four ranges, the HP E1413 selects the next higher range (for example, 4.1
selects the 16 VDC range). Specifying a value larger than 16 generates Error -222,
"Data out of range" . Specifying
selects autorange. The default range (no range parameter specified) is

•
If you are using amplifier SCPs, you should set them first and keep their settings
in mind when specifying a range setting. For instance, if your expected signal
voltage is to be approximately .1 VDC and the amplifier SCP for that channel has
a gain of 8, you must set
