16 HP E1476A Multiplexer Setup
The Multiplexer Module can be configured as a switchbox (either
single-module or multiple-module), or as a scanning voltmeter with the
HP E1411B (or E1326B) 5-Digit Multimeter.
SWITCHBOX
A switchbox configuration uses the "SWITCH" instrument
driver.
A switchbox uses the commands and command reference
in Chapter 3 of this manual.
The channel address (channel_list) has the form (@ccnn)
where:
A single-module switchbox has channel addresses in the
form (@nn).
Channel address example (multiple-module):
Channel 31 on card number 02 is addressed by (@231).
Switchbox applications are provided in Chapter 2
SCANNING VOLTMETER
A scanning voltmeter configuration uses the voltmeter
instrument driver "VOLTMTR". The scanning voltmeter
commands are different from the switchbox commands
defined in Chapter 3.
A scanning voltmeter uses the commands and command
reference found in the HP E1326B/E1411B 5-Digit
Multimeter User's Manual to control the switches and make
measurements. See the CONFigure and MEASure
commands in the multimeter manual.
A quick reference of HP E1411B/E1326B multimeter
commands is provided in Chapter 4 along with application
information.
Scanning voltmeter applications are provided in
Chapter 4.
