Page 37: Introduction
Introduction This section contains detailed information on front panel and IEEE-488 bus operation of the Model 2000-SCAN-20. The information in this section is organized as follows: • Signal limitations — Summarizes the maximum signals that can be applied to the Model 2000-SCAN-20.
Page 38: Scanner Card Detection
*OPT? is an IEEE 488.2 common query that determines whether or not a scanner card is installed. Also, the Model 2000-20 multimeter can distinguish between a Model-2000-SCAN 10-channel card and the Model-2000-SCAN-20 20-channel card. The response to this query is as follows: •...
Page 39: Model 2000-20 Multimeter Front Panel Scanner Controls And Scpi Scanner Commands
SCPI scanner commands The following paragraphs give an overview of the various Model 2000-20 Multimeter front panel controls and corresponding IEEE-488 SCPI bus commands used with the Model 2000-SCAN-20. Closing channels Front panel Use the front panel CLOSE key to close speciﬁc channels as follows: From the normal display, press the CLOSE key.
Page 40: Opening Channels
Operation Opening channels Front panel Use the front panel OPEN key to open all the card channels. Remote interface Use the :ROUTe:OPEN:ALL command to open all the channels. The command is as follows: PRINT #1, "output 16; :route:open:all" Use the :ROUTe:MULTiple:OPEN command to open speciﬁed channels. For example, if you want to open channels 1, 3, and 5, use the following command: PRINT #1, "output 16;...
Page 41: Configuring Scan Parameters
Operation Conﬁguring scan parameters This paragraph details how to select internal scanning and how to conﬁgure the scan parameters. Front Panel Use the SHIFT-CONFIG keys to select the scan type and conﬁgure the scan parameters. Press SHIFT and then CONFIG. The instrument will display the following prompt for internal scanning: TYPE: I20 Use the L or M key if EXT is displayed and press ENTER.
Page 42 Operation The following options start the scanning process: STEP — Pressing the STEP key on the front panel will direct the instrument to begin scanning at channel 1 and scan the number of channels speciﬁed with RDG CNT. It will store the same number of readings.
Page 43: Scpi Scanner Commands
Operation SCPI scanner commands Table 3-1 summarizes commands that control scanner operations over the remote interface. For more detailed information on these and other bus commands, refer to the multimeter manual. Table 3-1 Summary of SCPI scanner commands Command Description :ROUTe Route subsystem.
Page 44: Typical Applications
Operation Typical applications Resistor testing The Model 2000-SCAN-20 can be used to test up to 20 resistors using 2-wire measurements or up to ten resistors using 4-wire measurements. Such tests use the Model 2000-20 Ω2 and Ω4 resistance functions. 2-wire resistance tests Figure 3-1 shows a typical test setup for making 2-wire resistance measurements.
Page 45 DUT resistances. Note, however, that an extra two poles of switching are required for each resistor tested. For this reason, only ten resistors can be tested using this conﬁguration. Figure 3-2 4-wire resistance test connections 2000-SCAN-20 Out A DUTs (10) DMM 2000-20...
Page 46: Current Measurements
Operation 3-11 Current measurements Although the Model 2000-SCAN-20 is not intended for direct current measurements, on-card shunt resistors can be installed for channels 1 and 11 to allow for indirect current measurements. Figure 3-3 shows the typical conﬁguration for current measurements. Refer to...
Page 47: Measurement Considerations
3-12 Operation Measurement considerations Many measurements made with the Model 2000-SCAN-20 are subject to various effects that can seriously affect low-level measurement accuracy. The following paragraphs discuss these effects and ways to minimize them. Path isolation Path isolation is simply the equivalent impedance between any two test paths in a measurement system.
Page 48: Magnetic Fields
Operation 3-13 Figure 3-5 Voltage attenuation by path isolation resistance PATH PATH PATH Magnetic ﬁelds When a conductor cuts through magnetic lines of force, a very small current is generated. This phenomenon will frequently cause unwanted signals to occur in the test leads of a scanning system.
Page 49: Ground Loops
3-14 Operation The instrument, measurement leads, and other cables should be kept as far away as possible from any EMI sources. Shielding measurement leads and the multimeter may reduce EMI to acceptable levels. In extreme cases, a specially constructed screen room may be required to sufﬁciently attenuate troublesome signals.
Page 50: Keeping Connectors Clean
Operation 3-15 Figure 3-7 shows how to connect several instruments together to eliminate this type of ground loop problem. Here, only one instrument is connected to power line ground. Ground loops are not normally a problem with instruments having isolated LO terminals. However, all instruments in the test setup may not be designed in this manner.
