How to Use the System Software 41Chapter 2
Fast Connection
Selection
You can select a switching path to a module/instrument either by selecting
pins on the Unit Under Test (UUT) (see “Switching Path” box in Agilent
E1411 DMM Debug Front Panel (showing Path Selection)A on page 30) or
by creating a custom path using the Switching Action Editor (see “Switching
Action Editor” button in Agilent E1411 DMM Debug Front Panel (showing
Path Selection)B on page 30).
Specifying Unit Under
Test Pins
When selecting UUT pins, you normally specify from 1 to 4 connections,
depending on the module/instrument. For example, for the Digital
Multimeter (DMM), you define these four connections: high, low, high
current sense, and low current sense. The Counter only has only a high
connection.
The software works backwards though the switching configuration and
generates a switching path which connects to ABusx, depending on the
option selected. For example, a typical connection from ABus1 to the high
input of the Digital Multimeter would be: [DVMHi ABus1 VISrcHi]
Creating a User Defined
Switching Path
User defined switching paths are created using the “Select Switching Path”
screen which is enabled by the “Switching Action Editor” button (see
Agilent E1411 DMM Debug Front Panel (showing Path Selection)B on page
30). The “Select Switching Path” screen shows two different fields, the
‘Connect’ and ‘Disconnect’ fields. All paths added or listed in the ‘Connect’
field are always connected. All paths added or listed in the ‘Disconnect’
field are always disconnected. Note that the fields are blank, if no paths have
previously been added.
To add/edit/delete a path, first enable the “Select Switching Path” screen
using an appropriate instrument panel, as shown in Figure 2-20. The figure
uses the Agilent E1411B Digital Multimeter instrument panel.
The following shows how to add/edit/delete a path.
