Using This Chapter

General Information

Chapter 1
This chapter provides one page of general module information followed by
the tasks you must perform to set up your module and verify your
installation was successful. Chapter contents are:
•
Setting the Module Address Switch
•
Interrupt Priority
•
Setting and Checking the Line Frequency Reference
•
Input Terminals and Front Panel Indicators
•
Multimeter Functional Connections
•
Initial Operation
•
The HP E1312A is not recommended for use in the HP E1300A or
HP E1301A B-size mainframe.
•
The HP E1312A (VXI B-size) and HP E1412A (VXI C-size)
Multimeters are VXIbus message-based slave devices.
•
Programming the multimeter can either be through a command module
using an HP-IB interface or an embedded controller. You use the
Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI; see
Chapter 3) with the Standard Instrument Control Language (SICL) or
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture).
•
Maximum voltage is 300 V
•
Maximum current is 3A AC
•
Resolution is from 4½-digits for fast measurements to 6½-digits for
more accuracy. Resolution is set by specifying the integration time in
number of power line cycles (NPLCs) or corresponding aperture time.
Table 1-1 shows the correlation between NPLCs and resolution.
