Specifications

[SENSe:]
The [SENSe:] command subsystem is an HP E1326B/E1411B Multimeter
subsystem used to specify the Gage Factor and Poisson Ratio for strain
gage measurements. This subsystem is also used for downloading
unstrained references prior to strain measurements.
Refer to Chapter 5 in the HP E1326B/E1411B User’s Manual for more
information on this subsystem.

STRain:GFACtor [SENSe:]STRain:GFACtor <gage_factor> , <channel_list> specifies the
gage factor for the strain gage on the channel specified. A gage factor must
be specified for each channel.
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values
gage_factor
Numeric as specified
channel_list
Numeric 00 - 07
Comments • One gage factor must be specified for each channel measured.
• The gage factor must be specified before the strain is measured.
• Specifying the gage factor with an exponent of E-6 returns the strain
measurement in microstrain.
Example Specifying the Gage Factor
STR:GFAC 2.11E-6,(@100) Specifies the gage factor; reading
returned in microstrain.
