Example: Closed
Channel Resistance
Test
This example performs a Closed Channel Resistance Test to measure
Channels 0 through 31 relay contact resistances. If the relay contact
resistance for a channel is >2.0
Ω the program prints a message indicating
which channel has failed the test. Use this list in Chapter 4 when
troubleshooting a failing relay.
NOTE
This test assumes that the module is configured without protection
varistors, fuses, or resistors and that jumpers JM1 through JM8 are
installed on the Agilent E1463A Component Assembly (factory setting).
Refer to the Agilent E1463A User’s Manual for details and locations of
user installed protection circuits
