Strain measurements require the use of Bridge Completion Signal Conditioning
Plug-ons.
•
Bridge Completion SCPs provide the strain measurement bridges and their
excitation voltage sources.

specifies the voltage sensing channels that
are to measure the bridge outputs. Measuring channels on a Bridge Completion
SCP only returns that SCP’s excitation source voltage.

The
<
range

parameter: The HP E1413 has five ranges: .0625 VDC, .25 VDC,
1 VDC, 4 VDC, and 16 VDC. To select a range, simply specify the range value
(for example, 4 selects the 4 VDC range). If you specify a value larger than one of
the first four ranges, the HP E1413 selects the next higher range (for example, 4.1
selects the 16 VDC range). Specifying a value larger than 16 generates Error -222,
“ Data out of range” . Specifying
0
selects the lowest range (.0625 VDC). Specifying
AUTO
selects autorange. The default range (no range parameter specified) is
autorange. Autorange is not allowed while
SENSe:FILTer:LPASs:STATe
is
ON
.
Error +3072, “ Autorange not allowed with SENSE:FILTER on” will be generated at

time if the filter is

and any channel specifies autorange.

If you are using amplifier SCPs, you should set them first and keep their settings
in mind when specifying a range setting. For instance, if your expected signal
voltage is to be approximately .1 VDC and the amplifier SCP for that channel has
a gain of 8, you must set
<
range

no lower than 1 VDC or an input out-of-range
condition will exist.

The channel calibration command (
*CAL?
) calibrates the excitation voltage source
on each Bridge Completion SCP.
