Page 43: Example: Using The Scan Complete Bit (Basic)
When Bit 7 of the Status Byte Register is enabled by *SRE 128 to assert a GPIB Service Request (SRQ), the computer can be interrupted when the Scan Complete Bit is set, after the scanning cycle completes. This allows the controller to do other operations while the scanning cycle is in progress. Example: Using the This example monitors bit 7 in the Status Byte Register to determine when the scanning cycle is complete. -
Page 44: Saving And Recalling States
Saving and Recalling States *SAV <numeric_state> stores the current state of the matrix modules channels. Up to 10 states can be stored by specifying <numeric_state> as an integer 0 through 9. The following states are stored: Channel relay states (open or closed), ARM:COUNt, TRIGger:SOURce, OUTPut[:STATe], and INITiate:CONTinuous. -

Relay Control There are 16 relay control registers: Bank 0 Relay Control Register (base + ) through Bank 15 Relay Control Register 2 (base + 3E ). These Register registers are used to open and close the specified matrix relays. Reading any Relay Control Register will always return FFFF regardless of the channel states. - Page 89 Bank 7 Relay Control Register Address Base+2E Bank 8 Relay Control Register Address Base+30 Bank 9 Relay Control Register Address Base+32 Bank 10 Relay Control Register Address 1015 1014 1013 1012 1011 1010 1009 1008 1007 1006 1005 1004 1003 1002 1001 1000...

Page 92: Example: Making Measurements (Basic)
Example: Making This BASIC programming example closes bit 1 on bank 0, waits for a measurement to be made, and then opens the channel. You must insert Measurements your own programming code for the measurement part of this program. For (BASIC) example, if you are using the E1411B, see the E1326B/E1411B Multimeter User's Manual for programming examples. -

Example: Making This C/HP-UX programming example closes bit 1 on bank 0, waits for a measurement to be made, and then opens the channel. You must insert Measurements your own programming code for the measurement part of this program. For (C/HP-UX) example, if you are using the E1411B, see the E1326B/E1411B Multimeter User's Manual for programming examples. - Page 94 /*SUB VER_TIME*/ ver_time( ) struct timeval first, second, lapsed; struct timezone tzp; gettimeofday(&first,&tzp); for (j=0; j<=7000; j ++); gettimeofday ($second,&tzp); if (first.tv_usec > second.tv_usec) second.tv_usec +=1000000; second.tv_sec--; lapsed.tv_usec = second.tv_usec - first.tv_usec; lapsed.tv_sec = second.tv_sec - first.tv_sec; printf("Elapsed time for closing a channel is: %ld sec %ld usec \n", lapsed.tv_sec, lapsed.tv_usec);...

Page 95: Example: Scanning Channels (Basic)
Example: Scanning This BASIC programming example scans through the bank 0 channels (closing one switch at a time) and makes measurements between switch Channels (BASIC) closures. You must insert your own programming code for the measurement part of this program. For example, if you are using the E1411B, see the E1326B/E1411B Multimeter User's Manual for programming examples. -

Page 101: Appendix D Relay Life
Appendix D Relay Life Replacement Strategy Electromechanical relays are subject to normal wear-out. Relay life depends on several factors. The replacement strategy depends on the application. If some relays are used more often or at a higher load than other relays, the relays can be individually replaced as needed. - Page 102 • As the relay begins to wear Contact Resistance Maximum Value. out, its contact resistance increases. When the resistance exceeds a predetermined value, the relay should be replaced. • The stability of the contact resistance Contact Resistance Variance. decreases with age. Using this method, the contact resistance is measured several (5-10) times, and the variance of the measurements is determined.
