Safety Considerations

This product is a Saf ety Class I instrume nt tha t is provided wit h a prote c ti ve earth terminal when installed in the mainframe. The mainframe, switch, and all related documentation should be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings and i nstructions be f ore operation or serv ice .

Refer to the WARNINGS on page 6 in this manual for a summary of safety information. Safety information for preventive maintenance, testing, and service foll ows a nd is also found throughout this ma nual.

WARNINGS and

CAUTIONS

WARNING SERVICE-TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY. The information in this

This section cont ai ns W AR N INGS which must be followed for your protection and CAUTIONS whi c h mus t be followed to avoid dama ge to the equipment whe n pe rforming instrume nt maintena nc e or re pa ir .

manual is for service-trained personnel who are familiar with electronic circuitry and are aware of the hazards involved. To avoid personal injury or damage to the instrument, do not perform procedures in this manual or do any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.

CHECK MAINFRAME POWER SETTINGS. Before applying power, verif y th at the mainf r a me se t ti n g ma tc h e s the line voltage and that the correct fuse is installed. An uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the main power source to t he suppl ie d po we r co rd set.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS. Interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the mainframe) or disconnecting the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury. (Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.)

IMPAIRED PROTECTION. Whenever it is likely that instrument protection has been impaired, the mainframe must be made inoperative and be se cured against any u n intende d op e rat ion.

REMOVE POWER IF POSSIBLE. Some procedures in this manual may be performed with power supplied to the mainframe while prote ct ive cove rs are removed. Ene rgy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury. (If maintenance can be performed without power applied, the power should be removed.)

12 General Information Chapter 1

WARNING USING AUTOTRANSFORMERS. If the mainframe is to be

energized via an autotransf or mer (for voltage reduction) make sure the common terminal is connected to neutral (that is, the grounded side of the main’s supply).

CAPACITOR VOLTAGES. Capacitors inside the mainframe may remain charged even when the mainframe has been disconnected from its source of supply.

USE PROPER FUSES. For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuses only with fuses of the same current rating and type (such as normal blow, time delay, etc.). Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders.

CAUTION Static electricity is a maj o r ca u se o f co mp onent fa il u re . T o

preven t damage to t he electrical comp onents in th e switch, observe anti-static techniques whenever working on the switch.

Performance Test Record

Table 2-1, "Performance Test Reco rd for th e E1 364A S w it ch Module," is a form you may copy a nd use to record performan ce ve rif ica tion test result s for the switch module. Pages 3 and 4 of Table 2-1 show switch accuracy, measurement uncertainty (M.U.), and test accuracy ratio (TAR) values.

Switch Accuracy Accuracy is defined for closed-channel contact resistance and DC isolation

using the specific a ti ons in Appendix A of the E136 4A Use r’s Manual. The closed-chann el resi stance and DC isolat ion specificati ons are single-sided, meaning th at the r e is an uppe r limit OR a lower limit, but not both. In Table 2-1, either the "Minim um" or "Ma ximum" col umn will be blank fo r a single-side d te st.

Measurement

Uncertainty

Closed-Channel

For the performance verification tests in this manual, the measurement uncertainties are based on 90-day accuracy specifications for the 3458A Digital Multimeter. The calculations are shown below.

Conditions:

Resistance Test

– 4-wire ohms function – 10 Ω range – 90- da y spec ifi cat ion s – Worst-case reading = 3.5 Ω

M.U. = 15ppm of Reading + 5ppm of Range = 15 x 10

= 1.03 x 10

-6

DC Isolation Test Conditions:

– 2-wire ohms function – 1 GΩ range – 90- da y spec ifi cat ion s – Worst-case reading = 1.2 GΩ (highest resistance that can be

measured with the 3458A)

This program is designed to do the Fun ct io na l Ve rif ica ti on Te st found in Chapter 2, "Verifi cation Tests. "

Example This example sends a *IDN? command to the switch. This test can be used

to verify tha t t he sw it ch is c onne c te d pr operly and is re sponding to a basic command.

#include <stdio.h> #include <sicl.h>

Appe ndix A

#define ADDR "hpib7,9,15" /* Address of device */

main () { INST id; /* Define id as an instrum e nt */ char a[256] = {0}; /* Result variabl e */

id = iopen (ADDR); /* Open instrument session */

ipromptf(id, "*IDN?\n", "%t", a); /* Self test com mand */ printf("\n %s", a); /* Print resul t * / getchar(); /* Pause */

iclose (id); /* Close instrument session */ }

Performance Verification Tests

These programs are designed to do the Performance Verification Tests found in Chapte r 2, " V eri fi c ation Tests."

Example:

Closed Channel

Resistance Test

This example performs the Closed-Channel Resistance Test for all Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts.

/* Closed-channel Resistance Test E1364A */

#include <stdio.h> #include <sicl.h>

#define ADDR "hpib7,9,15" #define DMM "hpib7,22"

void main (void) { INST id, dm; char reading[256] = {0}; /* Resu lt variable */ int channel, i;

/* Define id and dm as an instrument */

/* Address of devi c e */

#if defined(__BORLANDC__) && !defined(__WIN32__) _InitEa syWin() ; #endif

ionerror(I_ERROR_EXIT);

id = iopen (ADDR); dm = iopen (DMM);

iprintf (id, "*RST\n"); iprintf (dm, "PRESET NORM;TRIG HOLD\n"); iprintf (dm, "FUNC OHMF\n");

printf ("\n\nConnect DMM to NO and C lines of E1364A (4-wire connection)"); getchar (); printf ("\n\nContact Resistance -- Normally open contacts\n");

for (i = 0; i <= 15; i++) { channel = 100 + i;

/* Open instrument session */

48 Example C Programs Appendix A

iprintf (id, "CLOS (@%u)\n", channel);

ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\n Channel %u (closed): %s", i, reading);

iprintf (id, "OPEN (@%u)\n", channel); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\n Channel %u (open): %s", i, reading); }

printf ("\n\nConnect DMM to NC and C lines of E1364A (4-wire connection)"); getchar (); iprintf (id, "CLOS (@100:115)\n"); printf ("\n\nContact Resistance -- Normally closed contacts\n");

for (i = 0; i <=15; i++) { channel = 100 + i;

iprintf (id, "OPEN (@%u)\n", channel); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\n Channel %u (closed): %s", i, reading);

iprintf (id, "CLOS (@%u)\n", channel); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\n Channel %u (open): %s", i, reading); }

iclose (id);iclose (dm); }

/* Close instrument session */

Example: DC

Isolation Test

This example performs the DC Isolation Test for Normally Open and Normally Closed channels to both Common and chassis (earth ground).

/* DC Isolation Test E1364A */

#include <stdio.h> #include <sicl.h>

#define ADDR "hpib7,9,15" #define DMM "hpib7,22"

void main (void) { INST id, dm; char reading[256] = {0}; /* Result va riable */ int channel, i;

#if defined(__BORLANDC__) && !defined(__WIN32__) _InitEasyWin(); #endif

ionerror(I_ERROR_EXIT);

id = iopen (ADDR); dm = iopen (DMM);

iprintf (dm, "PRESET NORM;TRIG HOLD\n"); iprintf (dm, "FUNC OHM;RANGE 1E9\n");

printf ("\n\nConnect DMM HI and LO to E1364A NO and C lines"); getchar (); iprintf (id, "*RST\n"); ipromptf (id, "*OPC?\n", "%t", reading); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\nDC Isolation -- Normally Open Channels to Common"); printf ("\n R = %s", reading);

/* Define id and dm as an instrument */

/* Address of device */

/* Open instrument session */

printf ("\n\nConnect DMM HI and LO to E1364A NC and C lines"); getchar (); iprintf (id, "CLOS (@100:115)\n"); ipromptf (id, "*OPC?\n", "%t", reading); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG:SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\nDC Isolation -- Normally Closed Channels to Common"); printf ("\n R = %s", reading);

50 Example C Programs Appendix A

printf ("\n\nConnect DMM HI and LO to E1364A NO line and mainframe chassis"); getchar (); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\nDC Isolation -- Normally Open Channels to Chassis"); printf ("\n R = %s", reading);

printf ("\n\nConnect DMM HI and LO to E1364A NC line and mainframe chassis"); getchar (); iprintf (id, "OPEN (@100:115)\n"); ipromptf (id, "*OPC?\n", "%t", reading); ipromptf (dm, "TRIG SGL\n", "%t", reading); printf ("\nDC Isolation -- Normally Closed Channels to Chassis"); printf ("\n R = %s", reading);

iclose (id); iclose (dm); }

/* Close instrume nt session */
