OV6. Specifications
ANALOG INPUTS (SE1-SE28 or DIF1-DIF14)
14 differential (DF) or 28 single-ended (SE) voltage
measurements individually configured. Ratiometric
resistive bridge, thermocouple, and period average
(frequency) measurements also supported on all ana-
log input channels. Channel expansion provided by
AM16/32 and AM25T multiplexers.
RANGES, RESOLUTION: 16-bit basic resolution (Basic
Res).
Resolution of DF measurements with input
reversal is half the Basic Res (17-bits).

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS
MEASUREMENT TYPES: The CR3000 provides
ratiometric measurements of 4- and 6-wire full
bridges, and 2-, 3-, and 4-wire half bridges. Precise,
dual polarity excitation for voltage or current excita-
tions eliminates DC errors. Offset values are reduced
by a factor of 2 when excitation reversal is used.
