54 Using the Relay Multiplexer Chapter 2
For this example, the multiplexer module is configured to test a 4-conductor
cable. Jumper JM1 must be removed to isolate the cable test terminal.
Jumpers JM2 and JM3 must be removed to isolate bank 0 from bank 2.
Figure 2-10 shows how to connect the cable under test and the multimeter
to the multiplexer. This example uses GPIB select code 7, primary address
09, and secondary address 03 for the multimeter and GPIB select code 7,
primary address 09, and secondary address 14 for the multiplexer.
In the program, lines 10-30 set up multimeter for resistance measurement.
Lines 40-50 reset multiplexer and switch banks 0-3 to analog bus. Lines
60-180 measure continuity of cable. The first loop pass measures wires 1
and 3 and the second loop pass measures wires 2 and 4.
Lines 190-420 measure insulation (short-circuit) of cable. The first loop pass
measures wires 1 to 3, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, and 1 to 2. The second loop pass
measures wires 3 to 1, 4 to 1, 4 to 2, 3 to 2, and 3 to 4.
