Resistance temperature measurements (RTDs and THERmistors) require the use
of Current Source Signal Conditioning Plug-Ons. The following table shows the
Current Source setting that must be used for the following RTDs and Thermistors:

The
<
range
>
parameter: The HP E1413 has five ranges: .0625 VDC, .25 VDC,
1 VDC, 4 VDC, and 16 VDC. To select a range, simply specify the range value
(for example, 4 selects the 4 VDC range). If you specify a value larger than one of
the first four ranges, the HP E1413 selects the next higher range (for example, 4.1
selects the 16 VDC range). Specifying a value larger than 16 generates Error -222,
“ Data out of range” . Specifying
0
selects the lowest range (.0625 VDC). Specifying
AUTO
selects autorange. The default range (no range parameter specified) is
autorange. Autorange is not allowed while
SENSe:FILTer:LPASs:STATe
is
ON
.
Error +3072, “ Autorange not allowed with SENSE:FILTER on” will be generated at
INITiate:IMMediate
time if the filter is
ON
and any channel specifies autorange.

may be specified in millivollts (mv).

If you are using amplifier SCPs, you should set them first and keep their settings
in mind when specifying a range setting. For instance, if your expected signal
voltage is to be approximately .1 VDC and the amplifier SCP for that channel has
a gain of 8, you must set
<
range
>
no lower than 1 VDC or an input out-of-range
condition will exist.
