140 Register-Based Programming
Using a Multimeter
with the Multiplexer
This flowchart shows the timing sequence between closing an Agilent
E8462A Multiplexer channel and triggering an Agilent E1326/E1411
multimeter.
Comments • Multiplexer Status Register bit 7 (BUSY bit) is monitored to determine
when a channel can be closed (or opened), and when a channel has
finished closing (or opening).
• Multimeter status bit 0 (ready for command) is monitored to determine
when a trigger opcode can be written to the Command Register
(flowchart assumes the multimeter is already configured).
