NTERFACE
As a signal conditioning device, the EX10SC is a passive device and adds no additional APIs to the
EX10xxA. All you have to do is to scale data based on the SC module connected to the channel.
The signal conditioners function similar to a transducer and, based on the 8B module being used,
scale factors can be used from the 8B module’s data sheet to adjust the readings.
When EXLab is used, the scale factors are accounted for using its GUI interface, making the
additional calculations unnecessary. The steps below of using EXLab with and EX10xxA and
EX10SC is provided below as an example.
7) Add the EX10xxA in Agilent Connection Expert (ACE). Refer to the software’s user’s manual
or help file for instructions. Note that an EX1016A is being used in the example and that the
EX10SC does not appear.
