4-Wire Switching with Separate Excitation

Below shows separate excitation of a string of In-Place Inclinometers (IPI) and Vibrating
Wire using two different sets of Mux configurations. Note: Figure 5-5 depicts
configurations for IC7565B / IC7575B / IC7560B / IC7570 Series and Figure 5-6 depicts
the configuration for the IPI27050 Series. See Appendix A-3 for sample programs.
