Register Descriptions
This section describes the relay strain gage multiplexer and FET strain gage
multiplexer registers.
Relay Multiplexer Registers
There are three READ and three WRITE registers on the relay strain gage
multiplexers.
The READ Registers
The following READ registers are located on the relay strain gage
multiplexer.
•
ID Register (base + 00
16
)
•
Device Type Register (base + 02
16
)
•
Status Register (base + 04
16
)
ID Register
The relay multiplexer’s ID Register indicates the classification, addressing
mode, and the manufacturer of the device.
