The data logger supplies a precise current from terminals configured for current excitation.
Return voltage is measured on U terminals configured for single-ended or differential analog
input.
U terminals can be configured as current-output terminals under program control for making
resistance measurements. For the current return, use the signal ground (
) terminal closest to
the current source terminal. CRBasic instructions that control current excitation include:
l
Resistance()
- Applies an excitation current to a circuit and measures the resistance.
The maximum excitation current is ±2500 μA.
l
Resistance3W()
- Makes a three-wire resistance measurement. The maximum
excitation current is ±2500 μA.
Resistive Bridge Circuits with Current Excitation: (use the signal ground (
) terminal adjacent to
the current excitation terminal)
