Except where noted, all references to the HP E1413 apply to the HP E1313.
This chapter shows how to plan and connect field wiring to the HP E1313/
E1413's terminal module. The chapter explains proper connection of analog
signals to the HP E1413, both two-wire voltage type and four-wire resistance
type measurements. Connections for other measurement types (for example,
strain using the Bridge Completion SCPs) refer to the specific SCP manual in
the "SCP Manuals" section. Chapter contents include:

An example C-SCPI program entitled wiretest.cs is included on the C-SCPI
driver tape. After completing your field wiring, use this program to check
for bad connections. The program performs " Open Transducer Detection"
(see DIAGnostic:OTDetect[:STATe]
continuously loops while performing measurements on all 64 channels.
The first point to understand is that the HP E1313/E1413 makes no
assumptions about the relationship between Signal Conditioning Plug-on
(SCP) function and the position in the HP E1313/E1413 that it can occupy.
You can put any type of SCP into any SCP position. There are, however,
some factors you should consider when planning what mix of SCPs should
