Options for filtering noise are:
4000 — for fast measurements, 0.5-ms analog-to-digital conversion
•
time
400 — 6.226-ms analog-to-digital conversion time
•
• 50/60 — filters 50 and 60 Hz noise, 49.812-ms analog-to-digital
conversion time
Bridge resistance is determined by measuring the difference between a known
voltage applied to the excitation (input) of a resistor bridge and the voltage
measured on the output arm. The CR300 supplies a precise voltage excitation
via VX terminals. Return voltage is measured on H/L terminals configured for
single-ended (SE) or differential (DIFF) input. The result of the measurement
is a ratio of measured voltages, as shown in TABLE 6-1.
CRBasic instructions for measuring resistance include:
BrHalf() — half-bridge
BrHalf3W() — three-wire half-bridge
BrHalf4W() — four-wire half-bridge
BrFull() — four-wire full-bridge
BrFull6W() — six-wire full-bridge
