may be presem.
This producl is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the safely precautions rcquired to avoid possible injury. Read the operating information
arcfully before using the product.
The types of product users are:
Responsible body is the individual or group responsible for the USC
and maintenance of cquipmcnt. for ensuring that the equipment is
operated within its spccitications and operating limits, and for en-
suring that operators are adequately trained.
Operators use the product for its intended function. They mull be
trained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the instrument. They must be protected from electric shock and contact with
hazardous live circuits.
Maintenance personnel pafonn routine procedures on the product
to keep it operating, for example, setting the line voltage or replacing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described in
the manual. The procedures explicitly state if the operator may pcrform them. Otherwise, they should be performed only by service
pxs0”“e1.
Service personnel are trained to work on live circuits, and perform
safe installations and repairs of pmducts. Only properly trained service personnel may perform installation and sen%x procedures.
Users of this product must bc protected from electric shock at all
times. The rcsponsiblc body must ensure that users are prevented
access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some c.xses.
connections must bc exposed to potendal human contact. Product
users in these circumstances must bc trained to protect thcn~scl~es
from the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operating
at or above 1000 volts, no conductive part of the circuit may be
exposed.
As described in the lntemetional Elcctrmcchnical Commission
(IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital muldmeter measuring circuits

Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal
voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures. The
American National Sandards Institute (ANSI) states that B shock
hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30V RMS, 42.4V
peak, or 60VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect
that hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit before
measuring.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the
common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground.
Always make ,,,~a~“rcm~“ts with dry hands while standing on a
dry, insulaled surface capable of withstanding the voltage being

To maintain protection from electric shock and tire, replacement
components in mains circuits, including the power transformer, test
leads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keirhley hutnmenrs. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals,
may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other components
that are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as
long as they arc equivalent to the original component. (Note that selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley lnstmments
to maintain accuracy and functionality of the product.) If you are
unsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call a
Keithley Instruments office for information.
To clean an instrument, USC a damp cloth or mild, water based
cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply

Troubleshooting procedure
This section contains general information about the
Model 7014 3PChannel Thermocouple/General Purpose Multiplexer Card.
The Model 7014 card is field-installable in the Model
7001 Switch System. Since it combines the functions of
thermocouple switching and a uniform temperature
reference, it is especially useful for scanning thermocouples.
The input terminals are covered by an aluminum cover
that acts as an isothermal block to minimize temperature differences. An
transducer under the aluminum cover senses the reference (cold) junction temperature and converts it to a
proportional voltage. The cold junction temperature is
used to calculate the corrected thermocouple output.
The output voltages of each thermocouple must be
converted to temperature (“C, “F, or K) using appropriate thermocouple tables, polynomial equations, or a
multimeter capable of temperature measurements,
such as the Model 2001.

2.2.1 Definitions
The following terms are defined as they relate to thermocouple circuits and thermocouple switching cards:
Thermocouple measurements
2.2.2
A thermocouple is a junction formed between two dis-
similar metals. If the temperature of the thermocouple
junction connected to the Model 7014 is T, a voltage E
is developed between leads A and B as shown in Figure
2-1. When connected to a voltmeter, two more junctions (C and D) are formed with the meter terminals,
Theory
which are usually copper. The measured voltage is proportional to the difference between temperatures Tand
T7.
Fi@~re 2- 1
Thermocouple measurement
To determine the difference, the thermoelectric properties of the thermocouple are needed. Data is available
to determine the voltage Y~~-SLIS temperature relationship based on a reference temperature (T1) of 0°C.
Thus, if the thermocouple-to-copper junctions were
maintained at O”C, it would be possible to determine T
by referring to the Thermocouple Reference Tables.
(See NIST Monograph 125). The tables list temperature
as a function of the meter reading E,. Since these junctions are not OT, a voltage E, is inhoduced, where:
+54.63mV at O”C, convert the voltage reading to
temperature (TI) with the formula:
T, = (El - 54.63mV) / 0.2mV per “C
T, represents the temperature of the Model 7014
isothermal connections.
2.
Using the thermocouple look-up tables or the following formula, convert the temperature (T,) from
step 1 to a voltage. Use tables matching the type of
thermocouple connected to the Model 7014. E, COTresponds to the reference voltage that would result
if an actual thermocouple were used as a reference
junction.
E, = a0 + a,T + a,F + a,T3 + a,T4
3.
Make a measurement of the voltage (E,) developed
by the thermocouple connected to the Model 7014.
4.
Add the reference voltage derived in step 2 to the
thermocouple voltage measured in step 3.
E = E, + E,
5.
Convert the voltage sum (E) from step 4 to a temperature (T) using either thermocouple look-up tables or the formula:
E, = E - E,
2.2.3 Measurement procedure
The temperature of a thermocouple junction is determined by the following summarized procedure:
l Measure the reference voltage (E,).
. Calculate the reference temperature (TI).
. Determine the reference correction voltage (E,).
l Measure the thermocouple voltage (E,).
l Calculate the thermocouple correction voltage (E).
l Determine the thermocouple temperature (T).
The complete step-by-step procedure follows:
1. Read the voltage (E,) developed by the Model 7014
reference junction. Assuming a temperature coefficient of +2OOpV/“C, and an offset voltage of
T = a, + a,E + a,E2 + a,E” + a4E4
The values for a, through a4 for the supported thermocouples are listed in tables located in Appendix A.
2.2.4 Measuring example
A measurement setup uses a Type J thermocouple. The
voltage developed by the reference junction (channel 1)
is 61.83mV. The voltage read from the thermocouple is
14476pV.
1. Find the temperature of the isothermal connections. The voltage from the reference sensor is
61.83mV
(61.83mV - 54.63mV) / 0.2mV per “C = 36°C
Using the appropriate formula or thermocouple
look-up tables (see Table 6.32 of NIST Monograph
125), find the equivalent voltage developed by a
Type J thermocouple at 36°C. This voltage is found
to be 1849.11iv. The formula shown in Step 2 above
would yield 1849.085cLv.
2-2
3. The voltage developed by the thermocouple is
measured as 14476vV.
4.
The sum of the voltage is 14476 + 1849.1, or
16325.1pV.
5. Using the appropriate formula or thermocouple
look-up tables (see Table A6.2.1 of NIST Monograph 125), find the temperature for a Type J thermocouple corresponding to 16325.1pV. This
temperature is 3OO.O”C. The formula shown in step
5 above would yield 299.995%
NOTE
A multimeter with a temperature
function, such as a Keithley Model
2001, will perform the measurement
procedure automatically, except for
closing and opening channels on cxternal cards.

A simplified schematic of the Model 7014 Thermocouple Card is shown in Figure 2-2. It is organized as four
1 x 10 multiplexer banks. Each bank has 10 inputs and
one output. (Note that Input 1 of Bank A is the reference junction.) Two-pole switching is provided for
each multiplexer input, with HI and LO switched. Two
or more banks can bc jumpered together to expand
multiplexer inputs, and backplane jumpers provide
bank connections to n second card installed in a Model

2.3.2 Backplane jumpers
NOTE
When mixing applications in a Model
7001 mainframe, backplane jumpers
on 701X-series cards can be removed
to isolate different signal levels. However, switching different levels simultaneously may affect the card’s
reference accuracy.
There are four pairs of backplane jumpers located on
the relay card. With the jumpers installed, the banks of
Model 7001
the multiplexer card are connected to the analog backplane of the Model 7001 allowing expansion with a second 701X-series card installed in the mainframe. With
the jumpers removed (cut), the multiplexer card is isolated from another card installed in the mainframe.
The three-pole analog backplane of the Model 7001
mainframe is shown in Figure 2-6. Through this analog
backplane the banks of a Model 7014 multiplexer card,
installed in one slot, can be connected to the banks (or
rows) of a compatible card installed in the other slot of
the mainframe.

2.4 Typical multiplexer switching
schemes
The following paragraphs describe some basic switching schemes that are possible with a two-pole switching multiplexer. These switching schemes include
some various shielding configurations to help minimize noise pick up in sensitive
tions. These shields are shown connected to chassis
ground. For some test configurations, shielding may
prove to be more effcctivc connected to circuit common. Chassis ground is accessible at thr rear panel of
the Model 7001.
2.4.1 Thermocouple switching
In a typical switching configuration for thermocouples,
all banks on the Model 7014 are connected together. As
shown in Figure 2-7, the voltage
is connected to one of the card outputs, and up to 39
thermocouples arc connected to the inputs.
In the single-ended switching configuration, the source
or measure instrument is connected to the DUT
through a single pathway as shown in Figure 2-9. The
instrument is connected to the output of one of the
banks and the DUT is shown connected to one of the
inputs for that bank.
The differential or floating switching configuration is
shown in Figure Z-10. The advantage of using this con-
figuration is that the terminals of the SOUIC~ or measure
instiument are not confined to the same pathway. Each
terminal of the instrument can be switched to any
available input in the test system.

2.4.4 Sensing 2.4.5 SMU connections
Figure 2-11 shows how the multiplexer card can be
configured to use instruments that have sensing capa-
bility The main advantage of using sensing is to cancel
the effects of switch card path resistance (<la) and the
resistance of external cabling. Whenever path resistance is a consideration, sensing should be
used.

Figure 2-12 shows how to connect a Keithley Model
236,237 or 238 Source Measure Unit to the multiplexer
card. By using triax cables that are unterminated at one
end, the driven guard and chassis ground are physically extended all the way to thr card.

2.5 Multiplexer expansion
With the use of additional switching cards and mainframes, larger systems can be configured. Each Model
7001 Switch System mainframe will accommodate up
to two cards, and up to six mainframes can be connected together. Thus, a switch system using as many as 12
cards can be configured.
NOTE
When mixing applications in a Model
7001 mainframe, backplane jumpers
on 701X.series cards can be removed
to isolate different signal levels. However, switching different levels simultaneously may affect the card’s
reference accuracy.
Separate switching systems
2.5.1 Two-card switching systems
Each Model 7001 Switch System mainframe can accommodate two cards to allow the following switching
configurations.

Two single-card systems can be configured by removing the backplane jumpers from one of the cards. The
two cards will be controlled by the same mainframe,
but they will be electrically isolated from each other.

Multiplexer input expansion
You can double the number of multiplexer inputs by
simply installing two “as shipped” Model 7014s in the
Model 7001 mainframe. By leaving the backplane
jumpers installed, the banks of the multiplexer card installed in slot 1 (CARD 1) are automatically connected
to the banks of the multiplexer card installed in slot 2
(CARD 2) through the analog backplane.
Figure 2-14 shows an example of input expansion.
Each Model 7014 card is configured as four 1 x 10 multiplexers. By connecting the banks together (via Model
7001 analog backplane), the resultant multiplexer system has 20 inputs for each of the four banks. Notice
that if all the bank-to-bank jumpers (for both cards)
were installed, the result would be a single 1 x 80 multiplexer.
Mixing card types
Different types of cards can be used together to create
some unique switching systems. For example, you
could have a Model 7014 multiplexer card installed in
one slot and a Model 7012 matrix card installed in the
other slot.
Figure Z-15 shows a possible switching system using a
matrix card and a multiplexer card. The backplane
jumpers for both the matrix and multiplexer cards
must be installed. This allows matrix rows to
be con-
nected to multiplexer banks. On the multiplexer card,
the bank-to-bank jumpers must be removed to maintain isolation between matrix rows. See the instruction
manual for the Model 7012 for complete information
on the matrix card.
2.5.2 Mainframe multiplexer expansion
Multiplexer systems using up to 12 multiplexer cards
are possible if you USE six Model 7001 mainframes together. Each Model 7014 added to the system provides
39 additional inputs. Paragraph 3.4.3 explains how to
connect a test system using two mainframes.

WARNING
The procedures in this section are intended only for qualified service per-
t3OIUId.
procedures unless qualified to do so.
Failure to recognize and observe normal safety precautions could result
in personal injury or death.
The information in this section is arranged as follows:
3.2 Handling precautions: Explains precautions that
must be followed to prevent contamination to the mul-
tiplexer card assembly. Contamination could degrade
the performance of the multiplexer card.
3.3
Connections: Covers the basics for connecting
external circuitry to the isothermal screw terminal connector card.
Do not perform these
3.2 Handling precautions
To maintain high impedance isolation, care should be
taken when handling the relay card to avoid contamination from such foreign materials as body oils. Such
contamination can substantially lower leakage resistances, thus degrading performance.
To avoid possible contamination, always grasp the relay and connector cards by the side edges or shields.
Do not touch the board surfaces or components. On
connectors, do not touch areas adjacent to the electrical
contacts. Dirt build-up over a period of time is another
possible source of contamination. To avoid this problem, operate the mainframe and multiplexer card in n
clean environment.
If a card becomes contaminated, it should be thoroughly cleaned as explained in paragraph 5.2.
3.4 Typical connection schemes: Provides some typical connection schemes for single card, two-card and
two-mainframe system configurations.
3.5 Model 7014 installation: Provides a procedure to
install the multiplexer card assembly in the Model 7001
mainframe.

Typical screw terminal connections
3.4.1 Single card system
The single card systems in Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10
use the isothermal screw terminal connector card. With
this card, single conductor connections are made directly from the terminal blocks of the connector card to
instrumentation and DUTs.
When using a single card system, you will want to
make sure that the card remains electrically isolated
from any other switching cards. There are several ways
to ensure isolation for a single card in the Model 7001
mainframe:
1. Vacate the other mainframe slot. If there is a Model
701X card installed in the other slot, remove it.
2. Remove the backplane jumpers on the multiplexer
card. This will disconnect the card from the analog
backplane of the mainframe.
3. Remove the backplane jumpers from the switching
card installed in the other slot.

The following information pertains to the Model 7014
multiplexer card. It assunws that you are familiar with
the operation of the Model 7001 mainframe.
If you are not familiar with the operation of the mainframe, it is recommended that you proceed to Getting
Started (Section 3) of the Model 7001 Instruction Manual after reading the following information.
4.3.1 Channel assignments
The Model 7001 has a channel status display (Figure 4
1) that provides the real-time state of each available
channel. The left portion of the display is for slot 1
(Card l), and the right portion is for slot 2 (Card 2).
To prevent overheating oi- damage to the relays, never

4.3.2 Front panel control
Closing and opening channels
Amultiplexer channel is closed from the front panel by
simply keying in the CHANNEL assignment and
pressing CLOSE. For example, to close channel 36 (Input 6 of Bank D) of a multiplexer card installed in slot
2, key in the following channel list and press CLOSE:
SELECT CHANNELS 2!36
The above closed channel can be opened by pressing
OPEN or OPEN ALL. ‘The OPEN key opens only the
charnels specified in the channel list, and OPEN ALL
opens all channels.
The following display is an example of a channel list
that consists of several channels:
SELECT CHANNELS 2!1,2!3,2!22-2!25
Notice that channel entries are separated by commas
(,). Acomma is inserted by pressing ENTER or the right
cursor key D The channel range is specified by using
the hyphen (-) key to separate the range limits. Pressing CLOSE will close all the channels specified in the
channel list. Pressing OPEN (or OPEN ALL) will open
the channels.
Scanning channels
Multiplexer channels are scanned by creating a scan
list and configuring the Model 7001 to perform a scan.
The scan list is created in the same mnnner as a channel
list (see Closing and Opening Channels). However, the
scan list is specified from the “SCAN CHANNEL” dis-
play mode. (The SCAN LIST key toggles between the
channel list and the scan list.) The following shows an
example of a scan list:
SCAN CHANNELS 2!1,2!3,2!21-2!25
4-3
Operation
-
When a scan is performed, the channels specified in the
scan list will be scanned in the order that they are pre
sented in the scan list.
A manual scan can be performed by using the RESET
default conditions of the Model 7001. RESETis selected
from the SAVESETUP menu of the main MENU. When
RESET is performed, the mainframe is configured for
an infinite number of manual scans. The first press of
STEP takes the mainframe out of the idle state. l%e
next press of STEP will close the first channel specified
in the scan list. Each subsequent press of STEP will select the next channel in the scan list.
4.3.3 IEEE-488 bus operation
Bus operation is demonstrated using HP BASIC 4.0.
The programming statements assume that the primary
address of the mainframe is 07.
Closing and opening channels
The following SCPI commands are used to close and
open channels:
:CLOSe <list>
:OPEN <list> I ALL
The following statement closes channels l!l, and 1!3
through l!ll:
tle as four commands. These commands are listed as
follows:
The first command resets the mainframe to a default
scan configuration. The second command automatically sets the channel count to the number of channels in
the Scan List, the third command defines the Scan List
and the fourth command takes the Model 7001 out of
the idle state.
The following program will perform a single scan
through all 40 channels of a multiplexer card installed
in slot 1:
Line 10 Selects a default configuration for the scan.
Line 20 Sets channel count to the scan-list-length.
Line 30 Defines the scan list.
Line 40 Take the Model 7001 out of the idle state. The
scan is configured to start as soon as this
command is executed.
OUTPUT 707; “:clos (@ l!l, 1!3:1!11)”
Notice that the colon (:) is used to separate the range
limits.
Either of the following statements will open channels
l!l, and 1!3 through l!ll:
OUTPUT 707; “:open (@ l!l, 1!3:1!11)”
OUTPUT 707; “:open all”
Scanning channels
There are many commands associated with scanning.
However, it is possible to configure a scan using as lit-
4-4
When the above program is run, the scan will be completed in approximately 240 milliseconds (3msec delay
for each relay close and a 3msec delay for each open),
which is too fast to view from the front panel. An additional relay delay can be added to the program to slow
down the scan for viewing. The program is modified
by adding line 25 to slow down the scan. Also, Line 5 is
added to the beginning of the program to ensure that
all channels are open before the scan is started.
Line 5 Opens all channels.
Line 25 Sets a % second delay after each channel

The Model 2001 is configured for thermocouple readings with the thermocouple type, reference junction
channel, temperature coefficient, and voltage offset.
These parameters are entered from its front panel or
programmed from the IEEE-488 bus. See the Model
2001 Operator’s Manual for details.
4.4 Multiplexer switching
This paragraph presents some typical applications for
the Model 7014. These include thermocouple scanning,
resistor testing, and transistor testing.
CAUTION
Do not switch a current or voltage
source to Channel 1 of the Model
7014. The temperature sensor of the
reference junction doea not have input protection. Specify Channel 1 as
a “restricted channel” from the Model 7001 CONFIGURE SCAN menu so
that it cannot be closed, except when
switching thermocouples.
examples
4.4.1 Thermocouple scanning
A test system to scan thermocouples consists of one or
more thermocouple cards in a switching mainframe
and a DMM, as shown in Figure 4-4. A multimeter with
a temperature function, such as the Model 2001, is described because it derives temperature values from
voltage readings.
4.42 Resistor testing
The Model 7014 can be used to test a large number of
resistors using only one test instrument or group of instruments. Such tests include two-wire and four-wire
resistance measurements using a DMM, and low-resistance measurements using a current source and scnsitive digital volhneter, as discussed in the following
paragraphs.
Two-wire resistance tests
Figure 4-5 shows a typical test setup for making two-
wire resistance measurements. The Model 7014 card
provides the switching function, while the resistance
measurements are made by a Model 199 DMM. Since
only two-pole switching is required for this application, one Model 7014 card can be used to switch up to
39 resistors (additional multiplexer banks can be added, if desired, by adding more cards).
Accuracy of measurements can bc optimized by minimizing stray resistance.
Trigger signals are used to synchronize Model 7001
channel closures and Model 2001 measurements. In addition to BNC connections for external triggering, the
Models 7001 and 2001 have a high-speed trigger link
for controlling up to six instruments.
Make connecting wires as short as possible to minimize path resistance. Another technique is to short one
of the multiplexer inputs, close the shorted channel
and then enable the DMM zero feature to cancel path
resistance. Leave zero enabled for the entire test.

pole operation by isolating Banks A and B from Banks
C and D, and by programming the Model 7001 mainframe for 4-pole mode. The resulting paired channels
are shown in Table 4-1.
Four-wire resistance tests
More precise measurements over a wider range of sys-
tem and DUT conditions can be obtained by using the
four-wire measurement scheme shown in Figure 4-6.
Here, separate sense leads from the Model 196 DMM
are routed through the multiplexer to the resistor under test. The extra set of sense leads minimizes the effects of voltage drops across the test leads. Note,
however, that an extra two poles of switching are required for each resistor tested. For this reason, only 19
resistors per card can be tested using this configura-
tion.

designations
Bank jumper removal is described in paragraph 3.3.1.
To configure the connector card for 4-p& operation,
only remove the jumpers between Banks B and C
(W203
and W204).
Selecting 4-pole operation for a Model 7001 card slot is
discussed in Section 4 of the Model 7001 Instruction
Manual. After the 4-p& mode is selected, the Model
7001 mainframe will display just 20 channels for the
chosen card slot. Each closed channel will also close its
paired channel on the card.
Although the four-wire connection scheme minimizes
problems caused by voltage drops, there is one other
potentially troublesome area associated with low resistance measurements: thermal EMFs caused by the i-elay contacts. In order to compensate for thermal EMFs,
the offset-compensated ohms feature of the Model 196
DMM should be used. To use this feature, short the HI
and LO terminals of one of the bank inputs, then close
the relay. Enable zero on the Model 196, then select offset-compensated ohms.
Low-level resistance measurements
Many times, it is necessary to make resistance measurements with either lower voltage sensitivity or
higher currents than are available with ordinary
DMMs. Examples of cases where low-level resistance
measurements may be necessary include the testing of
PC board traces, contacts, bus bars, and low resistance
shunts.
Figure 4-7 shows a typical test configuration for a
switching system capable of testing a number of low
resistance devices. The Model 220 Current Source forces current through the device under test, while the
Model 182 Sensitive Digital Voltmeter measures there-
salting voltage across the device.
Since low voltage levels are being measured, thermal
EMF offsets generated by relay and connector contacts
will have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy unless steps are taken to avoid them (the Model 7014
has been designed to keep relay EMF at a minimal lev-
el). Thermal EMF effects can be virtually eliminated by
taking two voltage measurements, El and E,, the first
with tlw current, I, flowing in one direction, and the
second with a current, I, of the same magnitude flow-
4-8
ing in the opposite direction. The resistance can then be
calculated as follows:
E,-E,
R=-
21
Note that simply reversing the current source polarity
will result in a 2x accuracy specification change. To
avoid this problem, matrix switching could be added
to the test system to reverse the current.

4.4.3 Transistor testing:
Typical transistor tests that can be performed with the
aid of the Model 7014 include current gain tests, leakage tests, as well as tests to determine the common-
emitter characteristics of the device. The following
paragraphs discuss these tests and give typical equipment configurations for the tests.
Current
The DC or static common-emitter current gain of a
transistor can be determined by biasing the transistor
for a specific value of base current, IB, and then measuring the collector current, E. The DC common-emitter current gain, p, of the transistor is then determined
as follows:
Figure 4-8 shows the test configuration and equivalent
circuit for the current gain test. The Model 224 Current
Source is used to source the base current, IB, The Model
230 Voltage Source supplies the collector-emitter voltage, VCE, and the collector current, F, is measured by
the Model 196 DMM. Switching among the transistors
being tested is, of course, performed by the Model 7014
multiplexer card.
In order to perform the current gain test, the voltage
source is first set to the desired value of VCB The current source is then set to a base current value that will
result in the desired value of k as measured by the
DMM. The current gain can then be calculated as out-
lined above.
gain tests
For example, a resistor that measures exactly 10061 at
25°C with a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/“C
should not change more than 1OmR per “C of temperature change. That resistor measured at 35°C should
read between 99.900 and lOO.lOOR (lOOn +lOOmQ.
Temperahwe coefficient is calculated from the following equation:
TC = (AR) (lob)
(RI (AT)
where:
TC = temperature coefficient in ppm/‘C
AR = change in resistance (reference resistance
test resistance)
R = actual resistance at the reference temperature
AT = change in temperature (reference tempera-
ture - test temperature)
Typically, several samples of a particular resistor from
a vendor will be tested to verify the specifications. The
temperature coefficient is usually checked at several
temperature points to ensure its integrity over a range
of temperatures.
Evaluation of resistors can be done with a Model 7014
card in a Model 7001 mainframe, along with a Model
2001 multimeter to make temperature and 4-terminal
resistance measurements. Temperature coefficients are
calculated with respect to the resistance measurement
made at a reference temperature. Thermal EMFs gene
ated by connections in the test circuit are cancelled by
the offset compensated ohms feature of the Model
2001.
In order to reduce errors caused by voltage burden, use
a higher current range on the Model 196 DMM. Doing
so will result in the loss of one or two decades of resolution, but 3% or 4M-digit resolution will probably be
adequate for most situations.
4.4.4 Resistor temperature coefficient testing
Temperature coefficient is the rate of change of resistance with respect to temperature, typically expressed
as ppm/“C (parts per million per degree centigrade).
4.10
Figure 4-8 shows a system that can test accuracy and
temperature coefficient of up to 29 resistors that have
the same specifications (resistance and temperature coefficient.

Common-emitter characteristic tests
Common-emitter characteristics are determined bv
setting the base current, I,, to specific values. At each 1;
value, the collector-emitter voltage, VCE, is swept
across the desired ranee at soecific intervals. and the
collector current, I,, is then measured. When the data
are plotted, the result is the familiar family of commonemitter curves (Figure 4-10).
4.5.1 Thermocouple measurement error
sources
The reference accuracy specification of the Model 7014
is the sum of the following error sources:
* Reference junction sensor error
l Temperature gradient across the card
The same test configuration that is used for current
gain tests can be used for measuring common-emitter
characteristics. The Model 224 is used to set the base
current, IB, to the desired values. The Model 230 Voltage Source provides the collector-emitter voltage, VCE,
and the Model 196 DMM measures the collector current, Ic.
l Relay self-heating
You can achieve better card performance by understanding how these error sources contribute to the
specification. The reference junction temperature and
its associated circuitry are shown in Figure 3-6.
Reference junction sensor
The primary factor determining reference junction accuracy is the operating temperature. By using the Model 7014 in the 18°C to 28°C range, maximum sensor
perf”rmance is achie”ed,
A temperature gradient of 0.32”C develops across the
connector board (*O.l6”C on each side of the sensor).
This gradient contributes to the rcfcrence error.

4.5 Measurement considerations
Many measurements made with the Model 7014 are
subject to various effects that can seriously affect lowlevel measurement accuracy. The following paragraphs discuss these effects and ways to minimize
them.
Channels that are close to the sensor have the least temper&we gradient error (channels 5,6, 15, 16,25,26,35,
and 36); channels farthest away have the most temper-
ature gradient error (channels 2 and 40).
When making relative tcmperaturc measurements and
not absolute measurements, it is advantageous to use
adjacent channels, as follows:
l Adjacent channels on the same terminal block (e.g.,
channels 2 and 3) will have no more than 0.035”C
error behveen them.
l Adjacent channels on different terminals block
(e.g., channels 15 and 25) will have no more than
0.05T
a-i-Oi-
4.13
Operation
Relay self-heating
As channels are turned on, heat is dissipated from the
relay coils. This can cause a measurement error up to
0.08”C. The following considerations reduce this error:
l Close only one channel at a time. (The single-chan-
nel mode of the Model 7001 can be used to prevent
the simultaneous closure of multiple channels.)
l Keep channel closure time to a minimum. (Worst
case is with a relay closed for five minutes.)
l Use the relays closest to the sensor. (Worst cases are
channels 1, 10, 11,20,21,30,31, and 40.)
l Do not mix switching applications simultaneously,
for example, thermocouple and high energy
switching. The card’s reference accuracy will be affected due to relay contact heating.
Other error sources
4.5.2 Path isolation
The path isolation is simply the equivalent impedance
between any two test paths in a measurement system.
Ideally, the path isolation should be infinite, but the actual resistance and distributed capacitance of cables
and connectors results in less than infinite path isolation values for these devices.
Path isolation resistance forms a signal path that is in
parallel with the equivalent resistance of the DUT, as
shown in Figure 4-11. For low-to-medium device resis-
tance values, path isolation resistance is seldom a consideration; however, it can seriously degrade measurement accuracy when testing high-impedance devices.
The voltage measured across such a device, for example, can be substantially attenuated by the voltage divider action of the device source resistance and path
isolation resistance, as shown in Figure 4.12. Also, leakage currents can be generated through these resistances by voltage sources in the system.
Thermocouple wire-In most cases, the major source
of error is the thermocouple wire. For the standard
grade of type K thermocouple wire, the error is 2.2”C or
0.75%, whichever is greater. For the special grade of
type K wire, the error is l.l’C or 0.4% error.
Offset voltage-The primary source of offset voltage
is the contact potential of the relay, typically <5OOnV
Due to self-heating of the relay, the offset voltage could
be 1pV if a channel is closed for five minutes. For a type
K thermocouple, 1pV offset produces 0.024”C of error.
Measurement instrument - The voltage measurement accuracy and temperature conversion algorithm
determine the accuracy of the instrument. The Model
2001 Multimeter has these parameters combined into
one temperature specification. For type K thermocou-
ples, the Model 2001 has 0.5”C accuracy.
Air drafts - For optimum performance, the card
should be protected from drafts. Air currents can cause
a temperature fluctuation under the connector card’s
isothermal cover.

Any differential isolation capacitance affects DC measurement settling time as well as AC measurement accuracy. Thus, it is often important that such capacitance
be kept as low as possible. Although the distributed ca-
4.14
pacitance of the matrix card is generally fixed by de-
sign, there is one area where you do have control over
the capacitance in your system; the connecting cables.
To minimize capacitance, keep all cables as short as
possible
At high current levels, even a single conductor can gencrate significant fields. These effects can be minimized
by using twisted pairs, which will cancel out most of
the resulting fields.

4.5.3 Magnetic fields
When a conductor cuts through magnetic lines of force,
a very small current is generated. This phenomenon
will frequently cause unwanted signals to occur in the
test leads of a switching matrix system. If the conduc-
tor has sufficient length, even weak magnetic fields like
those of the earth can create sufficient signals to affect
low-level measurements.
4.5.4 Radio frequency interference
RF1 (Radio Frequency Interference) is a general term
used to describe electromagnetic interference over a
wide range of frequencies across the spectrum. Such
RF1 can be particularly troublesome at low signal lcvels, but is can also affect measurements at high levels if
the problem is of sufficient severity.
RF1 can be caused by steady-state sources such as radio
or TV signals, or some types of electronic equipment
(microprocessors, high speed digital circuits, etc.), or it
can result from impulse sources, as in the case of arcing
in high-voltage environments. In either case, the effect
on the measurement can be considerable if enough of
the unwanted signal is present.
RF1 can be minimized in several ways. The most obvious method is to keep the eauiument and sirnal leads
as far away from the RF1 source as possible. Shielding
the switching card, signal leads, sources, and mcasuring instruments will often reduce RF1 to an acceptable
level. In extreme cases, a specially-constructed scrc‘en
room may be required to sufficiently attenuate the
troublesome signal.
. .
.,
Two ways to reduce these effects are: (1) reduce the
lengths of the test leads, and (2) minimize the exposed
circuit area. In extreme cases, magnetic shielding may
be required. Special metal with high permeability at
low flux densities (such as mu metal) is effective at re-
ducing these effects.
Even when the conductor is stationary, magnetically-
induced signals may still be a problem. Fields can be
produced by various signals such as the AC power line
voltage. Large inductors such as power transformers
can generate substantial magnetic fields, so care must
be taken to keep the switching and measuring circuits
a good distance away from these potential noise
sources.
Many instruments incorporate internal filtering that
may help to reduce RF1 effects in some situations. In
some cases, additional external filtering may also bc re-
quired. Keep in mind, however, that filtering may have
detrimental effects on the desired signal.
4.5.5 Ground loops
When two or more instruments arc connected together,
care must be taken to avoid unwanted signals caused
by ground loops. Ground loops usually occur when
sensitive instrumentation is connected to other instru-
mentation with more than one signal return path such
as power line ground. As shown in Figure 4-13, tbc re-
sulting ground loop causes current to flow through the
instrument LO signal leads and then back through
power line ground. This circulating current develops a
small but undesirable voltage between the LO terminals of the two instruments. This voltage will be added
to the source voltage, affecting the accuracy of the mea-
Ground loops are not normally a problem with in&-umats having isolated LO terminals. However, all instruments in the test setup may not be designed in this
manner. When in doubt, consult the manual for all instrumentation in the test setup.
4.5.6 Keeping connectors clean
As is the case with any high-resistance device, the integrity of connectors can be damaged if they are not
handled properly. If connector insulation becomes contaminated, the insulation resistance will be substantially reduced, affecting high-impedance measurement
P&S.
Figure 4-13
Power line ground loops
Figure 4-14 shows how to connect several instruments
together to eliminate this type of ground loop problem.
Here, only one instrument is connected to power line
ground.
i
Figure 4- 14
Eliminating ground loops
Oils and salts from the skin can contaminate connector
insulators, reducing their resistance. Also, contaminants present in the air can be deposited on the insulator surface. To avoid these problems, never touch the
connector insulating material. In addition, the multiplexer card should be used only in clean, dry environments to avoid contamination.
If the connector insulators should become contaminated, either by inadvertent touching, or from air-borne
deposits, they can be cleaned with a cotton swab
dipped in clean methanol. After thoroughly cleaning,
they should be allowed to dry for several hours in a
low-humidity environment before use, or they can be
dried more quickly using dry nitrogen.
4.5.7 AC frequency response
The AC frequency response of the Model 7014 is important in test systems that switch AC signals. Refer to
the specifications at the front of this manual.

that could result in personal injury or
death. Do not attempt to perform
these procedures unless you are
qualified to do so.
5.1 Introduction
This section contains information necessary to service
the Model 7014 multiplexer card and is arranged as follows:
5.2 Handling and cleaning precautions: Discusses
handling precautions and methods to clean the
card should it become contaminated.
5.3 Performance verification: Covers the procedures
necessary to determine if the card meets stated
specifications.
5.4 Calibration: Describes calibrating the card to its
specified temperature accuracy.
5.5 Special handling of static-sensitive devices:
Reviews precautions necessary when handling
static-sensitive devices.
5.6 Principles of operation: Briefly discusses circuit
operation.
5.7 Troubleshooting: Presents s”me troubleshooting
tips for the Model 7014 including relay replacement precautions.
5.2 Handling and cleaning precautions
Because of the high-impedance areas on the Model
7014, care should be taken when handling or servicing
the card to prevent possible contamination. The following precautions should be taken when servicing
the card.
Handle the card only by the edges and shields. Do not
touch any board surfaces or components not associated
with the repair. Do not touch areas adjacent to electrical
contacts. When servicing the card, wear clean cotton
gloves.
Do not store or operate the card in an environment
where dust could settle on the circuit board. Use dry nitrogen gas to clean dust off the board if necessary.
Should it become necessary to use solder on the circuit
board, use an OA-based (organic activated) flux. Remove the flux from the work areas when the repair has
been completed. Use pure water along with clean cot-
ton swabs or a clean soft brush to remove the flux. Take
care not to spread the flux to other areas of the circuit
board. Once the flux has been removed, swab only the
repaired area with methanol, then blow dry the board
with dry nitrogen gas.
After cleaning, the card should be placed in a 50°C low
humidity environment for several hours before use.

Performance verification
CAUTION
Do not switch a current or voltage
so”rce to Channel 1 of the Model
7014. The temperature sensor of the
reference junction does not have input protection. Specify Channel 1 as
a “restricted channel” from the Model 7001 CONFIGURE SCAN menu so
that it cannot be closed, except when
scanning thermocouples.
conditions do not apply if the backplane jumpers are
removed.
CAUTION
Contamination will degrade the performance of the card. To avoid contamination, always grasp the card by
the side edges. Do not touch the connectors, and do not touch the board
surfaces or components. On plugs
and receptacles, do not touch areas
adjacent to the electrical contacts.
NOTE
Failure of any performance verification test may indicate that the multiplexer card is contaminated. See paragraph 5.2 to clean the card.
5.3.1 Environmental conditions
The following paragraphs discuss performance verification procedures for the Model 7014, including path
resistance, offset current, contact potential, and isola-
tion.
With the Model 7014’s backplane jumpers installed, the
performance verification procedures must be performed with only one multiplexer card (the one being
checked) installed in the Model 7001 mainframe. These
All verification measurements should be made at an
ambient temperature between 18” and X’C, and at a
relative humidity of less than 70%.

This procedure verifies that the card is operating within its temperature specification. A Model 7001 Switch
System is used to close Channel 1 of the card.
1. Turn on a Model 1~96 and set it to the 300mVDC

7014 card and protect it from air drafts.
Use a probe with a specified accuracy of +O.O05”C.
The
combination of the probe and reference ther-
mometer should be accurate to +O.OlYI.
3. Coat the probe with a thermally conductive compound and insert it into the 0.110” hole marked
“CAL” in the isothermal cover.
4. Use the Model 7001 front panel to close Channel

1. Turn off the Model 7001 if it is on.
2. Turn on the Model 196, and allow it to warm up for
one hour before making measurements.
3. Connect all input terminals of Bank A together to
form one common terminal, as shown in Figure 5-
2.
4.
Set the Model 196 to the 300R range and connect
the four test leads to the OHMS and OHMS SENSE
input jacks.
5. Short the four test leads together and zero the
Model 196. Leave zero enabled for the entire test.
6.
Connect OHMS HI and OHMS SENSE HI of the

Channel 1!2 (Bank A, Input 2). Verify that the resistance of this path is <IQ.
10. Open Channel 1!2 and close Channel 1!3 (Bank A,
Input 3). Verify that the resistance of this path is
<1 Q.
11. Using the basic procedure in steps 9 and 10, check
the resistance of Bank A HI (H) terminal paths for
Inputs4 through 10 (Channels 1!4 through l!lO).
12. Turn off the Model 7001 and move the OHMS LO
and OHMS SENSE LO test leads to the LO (L) terminal of Bank A.
13. Repeat steps 9 through 11 to check the LO (I.) terminal paths of BankA(Channels 1!2 through l!lO).

5.3.5 Offset current tests
These tests check leakage current between HI (H) and
LO (L) (differential offset current) and from HI (H) and
LO (L) to chassis (common-mode offset current) of
each pathway. In general, these tests are performed by
simply measuring the leakage current with an electrometer. In the following procedure, the Model 617 is
used to measure the leakage current. Test connections
are shown in Figure 5-3.
Perform the following procedure to check offset current:
1. Turn off the Model 7001 if it is on, and remove any
jumpers or wires connected to the multiplexer
card.
2. Connect the triax cable to the Model 617, but do not
connect it to the multiplexer card at this time.
3. Turn on the Model 617 and allow the unit to warm
up for two hours before testing. After warm up, select the ZOOpA range, and enable zero check and
zero correct in that order. Leave zero correct enabled for the entire procedure. Also, be certain that
V-Q, GUARD is OFF and ground strap is connected to LO.
4. Connect the triax cable to Bank A HI and LO, as
shown in Figure 5.3A.
5. Install the Model 7014 in slot 1 (CARD 1) of the
Model 7001.
6. Turn on the Model 7001 and program the unit to
close Channel 1!2 (Bank A, Input 2).
7. On the Model 617, disable zero check and allow the
reading to settle. Verify that the reading is <lOOpA.
This specification is the offset (leakage) current of
the pathway.
8. Enable zero check on the Model 617 and open
Channel 1!2 from the front panel of the Model
7001.
9. Repeat the basic procedure in steps 6 through 8 to
check the rest of the pathways (Inputs 3 through
10) of Bank A (Channels 1!3 through l!lO).
10. Turn off the Model 7001 and change the electrometer connections to Bank B.
11. Repeat the basic procedure in steps 6 through 10 to
check Bank B, Inputs 1 through 10 (Channels l!ll
through 1!20).
12. Repeat the basic procedure in steps 6 through 11
for Banks C and D (Channels 1!21 through 1!40).
13. Turn off the Model 7001 and change the electrome-
ter connections, as shown in Figure 5-3B. Note that
electrometer HI is connected to HI and LO of the
Bank A output, which are jumpered together. Electrometer LO is connected to chassis.
14. Repeat steps 6 through 12 to check that the common mode offset current is <lOOpA.

These tests check the EMF generated by each relay contact pair (H and L) for each pathway. The tests simply
consist of using a sensitive digital voltmeter (Model
182) to measure the contact potential. See Figure 5-4.
Perform the following procedure to check contact po-
tential of each path:
1. Turn off the Model 7001 if it is on.
2. Place jumpers between Banks A-B, B-C, and C-D.
3. Turn on the Model 182 and allow the unit to warm
up to achieve rated accuracy.
4. Place a short between HI to LO on each input
(Channels 2-40).
5. Place a short between HI to LO on output Bank D
(long enough to cut with wire cutters).
6. Connect the Model 182 input leads to HI and LO
output Bank A using copper wires.
7. Install the Model 7014 in the Model 7001 slot 1, and
turn on the Model 7001.
8. Allow Models 7001, 7014 and 182 to warm up for
two hours.
9. Select the 3mV range on the Model 182.
10. Press REL READING (on the Model 182) to null
out internal offsets. Leave REL READING enabled
for the entire procedure.
11. Turn off the Model 7001. Remove the Model 7014
from slot 1. Cut the short on B and D output HI to
LO.
12. Install the Model 7014 in the Model 7001 slot 1, and
turn power on.
13. Wait 15 minutes.
14. Program the Model 7001 to close Channel 1!2.
15. After settling, verify that reading on the Model 182
is +V. This measurement represents the contact
potential of the pathway.
16. From the Model 7001, open Channel 1!2.
17. Repeat steps 12 through 14 for all 39 channels.

5.3.7 Bank and channel-to-channel isolation
tests
Bank isolation tests check the leakage resistance between adjacent banks. Channel-to-channel isolation
tests check the leakage resistance between a Bank Output connection and a Bank Input connection with an
adjacent Bank Input relay closed. In general, the tests
are performed by applying a voltage (1OOV) across the
leakage resistance and then measuring the current. The
isolation resistance is then calculated as R = V/I. In the
following procedure, the Model 617 functions as both a
voltage source and an ammeter. In the V/I function,
the Model 617 internally calculates the resistance from
the known voltage and current levels and displays the
resistive value.
Perform the following steps to check bank and chan-
nel-to-channel isolation:
1. Turn off the Model 7001 if it is on, and remove any
Farda or test leads connected to the multiplexer
2. Turn on the Model 617 and allow the unit to warm
up for two hours before testing.
3. On the Model 617, select the 2pA range, and enable
zero check and zero correct in that order. Leave
zero correct enabled for the entire procedure.
4. Connect the electrometer to the Model 7014, as
shown in Figure 5-5.
5. Install the Model 7014 in slot 1 (CARD 1) of the
Model 7001 and turn on the mainframe.
6. On the Model 617, select the 20pA range and re-
lease zero check.
7. On the Model 617, press SUPPRESS to cancel offset
current, then enable zero check.
WARNING
The following steps use high voltage
(1OOV). Be sure to remove power
from the circuit before making connection changes.
8. On the Model 617, set the voltage source for +lOOV,
and select the 20nA current range. Make sure the
voltage source is in standby.
9. Place the Model 617 in the V/I measurement function by pressing SHIFT OHMS.
10. Program the Model 7001 to close Channels 1!2 and
1!13 (Bank A, Input 2 and Bank B, Input 3).

5.3.8 Differential and common-mode isolation tests
These tests check the leakage resistance (isolation) between HI (H) and LO(L) (differential), and from HI (H)
and LO (L) to chassis (common-mode) of every bank
and channel. In general, the test is performed by applying a voltage (1OOV) across the terminals and then measuring the leakage current. The isolation resistance is
then calculated as R = V/I. In the following procedure,
the Model 617 functions as a voltage source and an ammeter. In the V/I function, the Model 617 internally calculates the resistance from the known voltage and
current levels, and displays the resistance value.
Perform the following steps to check differential and
common mode isolation:
1. Turn off the Model 7001 if it is on, and remove any
jumpers and test leads connected to the multiplexer card.
2. Turn on the Model 617 and allow the unit to warm
up for two hours for rated accuracy
3. On the Model 617, select the 2pA range, and enable
zero check and zero correct in that order. Leave
zero correct enabled for the entire procedure.

UOOV). Be sure to remove power
from the circuit before making connection changes.
4. On the Model 617, set the voltage source for +lOOV,
and select the 200nA current range. Make sure the
voltage source is still in standby.
5. Place the Model 617 in the V/I measurement func-
tion by pressing SHIFT OHMS.
6. With the Model 617 in standby, connect the elec-
trometer to Bank A of the multiplexer card, as

5.4 Calibration
There are two calibration procedures given here. The
first procedure establishes the specified accuracy of the
Model 7014 card with a calibrated thermistor probe
monitoring the temperature under the isothermal cover. The second procedure establishes an ice-point reference for a piece of thermocouple wire from the spool
intended for a Model 7014 application.
Both calibration procedures should be performed at an
ambient temperature of 23°C GK, and a relative humidity of less than 70%.
NOTE
It is recommended that the Model
7014 is calibrated in the same Model
7001 mainframe being used for norma1 applications.
5.4.1 Calibration with thermistor probe
Bench reset conditions are assumed for the Models
7001 and 2001. In general, the procedure has the following steps:
1. Set a Model 196 DMM on the 300kQ range, or a
Model 2001 Multimeter on the 200kR range. (The
short circuit currents are 50~A and 7@., respectively. Due to the self-heating effects of the thermistor probe at higher current, do not use a lower
resistance range.) Let the Model 196 warm up for
two hours; the Model 2001 for one hour.
2. Set another Model 196 on the 300mVDC range, or
a Model 2001 on the 200mVDC range. Insert a 2terminal low thermal shorting bar into the voltages
inputs. Zero the Model 196 after two hours (one
hour for the Model 2001) and remove the shorting
bar.
3. Set up the test equipment as shown in Figure 5-9.
Remove the cover of the Model 7001 as explained
in paragraph 7.5 of the Model 7001 Instruction
Manual.
4. Unscrew and remove the top clamp on the connector card of the Model 7014 to allow access to trimmer RZO4. Insert the card into the Model 7001 and
protect it from air drafts.
This procedure requires a calibrated thermistor probe
(Thermometrics Series CSP A207A or equivalent). The
test can be automated with a bus controller.
5. Coat the probe with a thermally conductive compound and insert it into the 0.110” hole marked
“CAL” in the isothermal cover.
5-15
6.
Take a reading of the probe resistance when it sta-
bilizes.
7.
Using the lookup tables for the CSP A207A probe,
find the Celsius temperature that corresponds to
the above probe resistance. This is the temperature
under the isothermal cover as measured by the
probe.
8. The following equation calculates the equivalent
reference junction output voltage (VRBF):
VREF = (T, + 273.15) x 0.0002
9. Close Channel 1 on the Model 7014 card and read
the output voltage; it should equal the VREF just calculated. Adjust trimmer RZO4 until the equivalent
temperature equals:
(probe temp. + 0.04”C) * 0.05”C
10. Check the probe resistance again, and find the COP
responding temperature with the lookup tables. If
the new value differs by more than O.Ol”C from the
temperature found in step 7, repeat steps 8 and 9.
Figure 5-9
Calibrafion with thermistor probe
5.16
5.4.2 Calibration with thermocouple wire
This procedure compensates for errors of the reference
junction circuitry and establishes a compensation fat-
tor for the offset of the particular piece of thermocouple
wire. Because of an inherent error source, the thermo-
couple wire used in measuring the ice-point, absolute
calibration accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Assuming the homogeneity of the thermocouple wire
spool, errors due to thermocouple offset voltages will
be significantly reduced for the entire system. For subsequent applications of this particular Model 7014
card, the same spool of wire should be used on the
same channel (or one on the same terminal strip), otherwise the Model 7014 should be recalibrated.
This procedure assumes bench reset conditions on the
Models 7001 and 2001.
On a Model 7014, connect the thermocouple positive lead to Channel 2 HI and the negative lead
(red insulation) to Channel 2 LO. Connect copper
wires to the HI and LO outputs of Bank A. Route
all wires through the cable clamp and insert a small
non-metallic screwdriver to adjust trimmer R204.
See Figure 5-10.
Insert the Model 7014 into a Model 7001. Connect
the output wires to the INPUT HI and LO terminals of the Model 2001.
Turn on both instruments and allow them to warm
up for at least one hour.

5.5 Special handling of static-sensitive
devices
CMOS and other high-impedance devices are subject
to possible static discharge damage because of the
high-impedance levels involved. When handling such
devices, use the precautions listed below.
NOTE
In order to prevent damage, assume
that all parts are static-sensitive.
1. Such devices should be transported and handled
only in containers specially designed to prevent or
dissipate static build-up. Typically, these devices
will be received in anti-static containers made of
plastic or foam. Keep these parts in their original
containers until ready for installation or use.
2. Remove the devices from their protective containers only at a properly-grounded workstation. Also,
ground yourself with an appropriate wrist strap
while working with these devices.
3. Handle the devices only by the body; do not touch
the pins or terminals.
4. Any printed circuit board into which the device is
to be inserted must first be grounded to the bench
or table.
5. Use only anti-static type de-soldering tools and
grounded-tip soldering irons.

5.6.2 ID data circuits
Upon power-up, card identification information from
each card is read by the mainframe. This ID data includes such information as card ID, hardware settling
time, and relay configuration information.
ID data is contained within an on-card EEPROM 3
(UlO5). In order to read this information, the sequence
described below is performed on power-up.
1. The IDDATA line (pin 6 of U105) is set from high to
low while the IDCLK line (pin 5 of U105) is held
high. This action initiates a start command to the
2
4. Once all data is received, the mainframe sends a
ROM to transmit data serially to the mainframe
(Figure 5-12).
The mainframe sends the ROM address location to
be read over the IDDATA line. The ROM then
transmits an acknowledge signal back to the mainframe, and it then transmits data at that location
back to the mainframe (Figure 5-13).
The mainframe then transmits an acknowledge
signal, indicating that it requires more data. The
ROM will then sequentially transmit data after
each acknowledge signal it receives.

Card relays are controlled by serial data transmitted
via the relay DATA line. A total of five bytes for each
card are shifted in serial fashion into latches located in
the card relay driver ICs. The serial data is clocked in
by the CLK line. As data overflows one register, it is fed
out the Q’S line of the register down the chain.
Once all five bytes have shifted into the card, the
STROBE line is set high to latch the relay information
into the Q outputs of the relay drivers, and the appropriate relays are energized (assuming the driver outputs are enabled, as discussed below). Note that a relay
driver output goes low to energize the corresponding
day.

The PRESET line on the D-type flip-flop is controlled
by the 68302 microprocessor, while the CLK line of the
D-type flip-flop is controlled by a VIA port line on the
68302 processor. The Q output of the flip-flop drives
each switch card relay driver IC enable pin (LJlOOU104, pin 8).
When the 68302 microprocessor is in the reset mode,
the flip-flop PRESET line is held low, and Q out immediately goes high, disabling all relays (r&y driver IC
enable pins are high, disabling the relays). After the reset condition elapses (-ZOOmsec), PRESET goes high
while Q out stays high. When the first valid STROBE
pulse occurs, a low logic level is clocked into the Dtype flip-flop, setting Q out low and enabling all relay
drivers simultaneously. Note that Q out stays low, (enabling relay drivers) until the 68302 processor goes intc
a reset condition.
NOTE
The circuit discussed below is located
on the connector board of the Model
7014. See schematic diagram 7014-166
in Section 6.
The temperature of the reference junction on Channel 1
is measured by a semiconductor temperature trans-
ducer (U201). U201, R7.01, R203, and I7204 form the iso-
thermal measurement circuit. R204 is a calibration
adjustment potentiometer that compensates for errors
introduced by U201, R203, and R’2.01.
5.6.5 Power-on safeguard
NOTE
The power-on safeguard circuit discussed below is actually located on the
digital board in the Model 7001 mainframe.
A power-on safeguard circuit, made up of U114 (a Dtype flip-flop) and associated components ensures that
relays do not randomly energize on power-up and
power-down. This circuit disables all relays (all relays
are open) during power-up and power-down periods.

5.7.2 Troubleshooting access
There are four screws that attach the
isothermal cover to the connector
board. It is only necessary to remove
these screws to gain complete access
to the solder side of the connector
board. Removal of the cover will
damage the thermal RTV seal, which
will have to be replaced (Keithley
Part Number CE-16).

CAUTION
To gain access to the relay card top surface to measure
voltages under actual operation conditions, perform
the following steps:
live circuits. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or death.
1. Disconnect the connector card from the relay card.
2. Remove the Model 7001 cover.
3. Install the relay card in the CARD 1 slot location.
4. Turn on Model 7001 power to measure voltages
(see following paragraph).
NOTE
For complete access to the component
side of the relay board, it is necessary
to remove the copper/vinyl shield
that covers the relays (Keithley P/N
7014-308).
5.7.3 Troubleshooting procedure
Table 5-6 summarizes switch card troubleshooting.
WARNING
Lethal voltages are present within
the 7001 mainframe. Some of the procedures may expose you to hazardous voltages. Observe standard
safety precautions for dealing with
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions
when troubleshooting or repairing
the switch card:
To avoid contamination, which could
degrade card performance, always
handle the card only by the handle
and side edges. Do not touch edge
connectors, board surfaces, or components on the card. Also, do not
touch areas adjacent to electrical contacts on connectors.
Use care when removing relays from
the PC board to avoid pulling traces
away from the circuit board. Before
attempting to remove a relay, use an
appropriate de-soldering tool, such
as a solder sucker, to clear each
mounting hole completely free of
solder. Each relay pin must be free to
move in its mounting hole before re-
moval. Also, make certain that no
burrs are present on the ends of the
relay pins.
