B. Program Descriptions
-----------------------
The following gives a short description of the programs. Note that only the
first 2 or 4 letters of the program titles are shown (the last 2 or 3 letters
indicate the program language).
VERF_XXX
This program:
1) Determines the mainframe/command module HP-IB address and checks
if there is communication.
2) Uses the "VXI:CONFigure:DeviceLIST?" command to check for any
errors and warnings generated by the mainframe/plug-in modules.
3) Uses the SYSTem:ERRor? query to determine if any system errors
exist.
4) Reads and, if needed, sets the system time.
5) Reads and, if needed, sets the system date.
6) Determines and prints out the identifications of all instruments
installed in the mainframe.
SCAN_XXX
This program:
1) Uses the B-Size Scanning Voltmeter configuration to make DC
voltage measurements.
2) The configuration uses an HP E1326B Multimeter for the
measurements and a single HP E1345A Relay Multiplexer Module.
3) The command used is "MEASure:VOLTage:DC? (@100:115)" which
measures the voltage on all channels of the first multiplexer
module.
4) To measure all channels of a second multiplexer module, change
the channel list to "(@200:215)".
5) To measure all channels of both multiplexer modules, change the
channel list to "(@100:215)".
SW_XXX
This program:
1) Uses the B-Size Switchbox configuration to make DC voltage
measurements using two HP E1345A Relay Multiplexer Module to scan
the channels.
2) The command used to setup the Switchbox for scanning is
[ROUTe:]SCAN (@100:115).
3) An externally connected HP E1326B Multimeter is used to make the
measurements; use the appropriate manual if using a different
multimeter or voltmeter.
RN13_XXX
Use this program to run the HP 1326 Multimeter and to check for
for correct multimeter and mainframe/command module operation. If a
timeout is noted, this program terminates instrument activity and
then checks for errors in both the multimeter and mainframe/command
module. If any erros are noted, the program then checks the status of
the instrument that caused the errors.
