Agilent E1411B Digital

Multimeter

An instrument box which connects to the Agilent E6171 Measurement

Control Module, such as the Agilent E1411 DMM, usually has two different

dialog boxes which depend on the type of path selected (as shown in Agilent

E1411 DMM Debug Front Panel (showing Path Selection)A and Agilent

E1411 DMM Debug Front Panel (showing Path Selection)B). This allows

you to either connect to the pin on the UUT (Agilent E1411 DMM Debug

Front Panel (showing Path Selection)A) or select any point within the

system by defining a custom switching path (Agilent E1411 DMM Debug

Front Panel (showing Path Selection)B). The custom switching is applied on

top of the current switching state, so to undo a switching path you need to

define a ‘disconnect’ path.

The debug panel boxes and buttons do the following:

Function:

Choose ACV, DCV, Ohms, Ohms - Offset Compensated

The measurement is made in auto range and medium resolution.

Switching Path:

The debug panel supports the selection of the switching path. The

panel switches both high and low connections of voltage sense and the

high and low connection of the current terminals. The sense

connections are connected in parallel with the high and low terminals.

You specify the high or low terminal and the system automatically

connects the associated sense terminal.

Measurement Results:

Press the “Single” button to initiate a single measurement; press the

“Continuous” button to initiate a series of measurements. The

continuous button is modified to a “Stop” button once pressed. When

the dialog box is brought up, the measurement results box is blank.

Switching Action Editor:

This button enables the editor to select the switching paths for the
