AM16/32B Relay Multiplexer     21 

Appendix B.

 

Example 

measurements and programs 

This section covers sensor-to-AM16/32B connections and AM16/32B-to-data logger connections. 

The following are examples only and should not be construed as the only way to make a 

particular measurement. See the measurement section of the data logger manual for more 

information on basic bridge measurements. The figures in this section do not show the wire 

connections between the data logger and AM16/32B control terminals. Only the path for each 

sensor through the AM16/32B to the data logger is shown. Control wiring is shown in the table 

giving the wiring for each example. 
The programs use the 

MuxSelect()

 instruction to select the specified starting channel and turn 

the multiplexer on (High). Programs created with 

Short Cut

 

will use the 

PortSet()

 instruction to 

turn the multiplexer on (High). While 

PortSet()

 is backward compatible with the older 

AM16/32 and AM16/32A, these older versions also require a 150 ms 

Delay()

 instruction 

immediately after the 

PortSet()

 instruction. Using 

MuxSelect()

 with the AM16/32B does not 

require the delay, allowing for faster operation. In all cases, 

PortSet()

 is used at the end of 

each scan to turn the multiplexer off (Low). 
The example programs are downloadable from the Campbell Scientific website:

. A single Zip archive contains all 

the example programs referenced in this manual.

Single-ended voltage measurement 

FIGURE B-1

 shows a typical connection for single-ended voltage measurements. Using this 

method, a data logger can make up to 48 single-ended voltage measurements through a 

multiplexer. See

Table B-1

 for the programs and 

wiring diagram, or use

 Short Cut to create the program. With minor adjustments, the CR1000X 

program can be used with the CR6, CR3000, CR800 series, or CR1000. In either case, the 

AM16/32B must be in 4x16 mode. View the program in the
