3.8.3
Connecting the Outputs
Figures 3.14 through 3.17 illustrate the Transducer Signal Outputs con-
nected between the transducer current input (far right) and common
(middle).
If testing transducers with voltage outputs, connect them
between the transducer voltage input (left) and common (middle).
NOTE:
Be certain to configure the Model 931A to accept the type of
transducer signal and range, whether voltage or current output.
Sec-
tion 3.8.1.4 describes available Output Ranges.
3.8.4
Performing the Measurement
Once in the Transducer Configuration Menu, press the ESCAPE key to
automatically place the unit in the transducer measurement mode. To
access the Transducer Configuration Menu, press SHIFT then CONFIG.
Instrument configuration determines the appearance of the display
during transducer measurements.
The upper number represents the
transducer input, and the lower number represents the transducer output.
Display configuration determines whether measurement results are pre-
sented as a measured value, or as a percent of full-scale. Sections 3.8.1.5
and 3.8.1.6 describe the Display Modes.
Additionally, the Model 931A can present the lower number as a
percentage of error in the transducer. Percentage error is determined by
comparing the ratio of the input and output values to the ratio of the input
and output ranges. Section 3.8.1.6 describes how to set the Model 931A
to display percentage error in transducer measurements.

Custom Pulse, or Contact Output Tests
3.8.5.1
Choosing a Test Method
Testing transducers with contact outputs can be accomplished by using the
Custom Pulse feature of the Model 931A. By following the steps outlined
below, most transducers with contact outputs may be tested simply and
accurately.
1. Determine the type of transducer output.
2. Configure the Transducer menu, on the Model 931A.
3. Configure the Timer menu, on the Model 931A.
4. Setup the required test equipment and transducer.
5. Test the transducer.
