Configuring the Terminal Module
The screw-type terminal module contains jumpers that control how the
Agilent E1418A operates. The jumpers are shipped in a separate bag with
the terminal module. The Agilent E1418A will operate without any
jumpers installed. You can, however, store the jumpers on the terminal
module for later reconfiguration. Figure 1-13 shows the jumper locations
and example settings.
There are two jumpers for each channel; a P/J jumper and a V/I jumper.
The two jumpers work together.
P/J Jumper The P/J jumper sets the channel output mode to be either Program
Selectable or Jumper Selectable. When the jumper is in the program
selectable position, the channel output mode can be set via programming
commands. In the jumper selectable position, the channel output mode is
set via the V/I jumper.
V/I Jumper The V/I jumper sets the channel output mode to either voltage or current
when the P/J jumper is set to the Jumper Selectable position. When the P/J
jumper is set to Program Selectable, this jumper has no effect.
Notes With no jumpers installed, the module will be in the Program Selectable
output mode.
When the P/J Jumper is set to the Jumper Selectable position, the output
mode cannot be changed with SCPI commands. The output mode following
a
*RST common command will be the mode set by the V/I jumper.
