Using the Multiplexer
Mode: WIRE3 and
WIRE4
The same basic configuration is used for both the 3-Wire and the 4-Wire
modes. Refer to Figure 2-3. In the 3-Wire mode, relays 0-31 and 128-159
switch to terminal bus Ter0, relays 32-63 and 160-191 switch to Ter1, and
relays 64-95 and 192-223 switch to Ter5. In the 4-Wire mode, relays 0-31
and 128-159 switch to terminal bus Ter0, relays 32-63 and 160-191 switch
to Ter1, relays 64-95 and 192-223 switch to Ter5 and relays 96-127 and
224-255 switch to Ter4.
In either mode the 256 channels will form 64 wire pairs. The valid channel
numbers are 0 through 63. Measurements can be done either through the
four terminal bus Terminals 0, 1, 5, and 4 or through the analog bus by
closing the analog bus relays AB200, AB201, AB203 and AB204 (CH9200,
9201, 9203, 9204).
For 4-Wire measurements, you would typically use a pair of channels from
banks 0 and 2 for the voltage sense and another pair of channels from banks
4 and 6 for the current source, these four channels forms one 4-wire pair.
Closing any channel in the pair automatically closes the other channel in the
pair. The following SCPI example shows how to set the 4-Wire mode and
how to close the paired channels.
FUNC 1, WIRE4
Configure 4-wire mode.
CLOS (@100)
Close channel 00. Channels 32,
64, 96 are 4-wire pair and will
close automatically.
Other Modes
The Agilent E8462A can also be configured as two 128x1, four 64x1, eight
32x1, two 64x2, four 32x2, eight 16x2, two 32x4 or four 16x4 multiplexers.
The ROUTe:FUNCtion command can be used to automatically set these
modes. You must use mode NONE and manually set all tree and routing
relays if you want a mixture of modes (e.g., one 128x1, one 32x2 and one
16x4).
