24 Configuring the Relay Multiplexer Modules Chapter 2
Using the Multiplexer Module with an Agilent Mainframe
or Command Module
To program the multiplexer modules with an E1300A/01A Mainframe or an
1405B/E1406A Command Module, the modules must be configured as an
instrument. If using the E1300 Mainframe or E1405 Command Module,
you MUST have version 06.00 (or greater) firmware for the 16-Channel
Multiplexer Modules to properly identify. An instrument configuration
for the multiplexer modules must be a:
• Scanning Voltmeter - Used with an E1326B/E1411A Multimeter.
• Switchbox - Used with other switch type modules, like other
multiplexer modules, etc.
(The above requirements are not necessary if using register-based
programming to program the modules.)
Using the Scanning
Voltmeter
Configuration
Use this configuration for:
1. Easiest system programming.
2. Fastest execution speed.
3. Thermocouple measurements if using the E1326B/E1411B
temperature function.
To use this configuration, set the multimeter's logical address to a multiple
of 8. Also set the first multiplexer module's logical address to the next
address value, the second module to the next address value, and so on. The
following shows the logical address settings of a Scanning Voltmeter with
the multimeter address set to 24.
To program the scanning voltmeter, use the programming information in the
appropriate multimeter manual.
