Programming Basics

In the channel_list, you can specify multiple channels by using comma (,) or colon

(:) as follows:

Comma: use between each specified channel as in following examples:

•(@10101,10102,10103) means 10101, 10102 and 10103.

•(@10112,10202) means 10112 and 10202.

•(@11412,20102) means 11412 and 20102.

Colon: use to specify a range of channels as in following examples:

•(@10101:10103) means 10101, 10102, and 10103.

•(@10112:10202) means 10112, 10201, and 10202.

•(@11412:20102) means 11412, 20101, and 20102.

As shown in last two examples, you can specify a range across input ports and card slots.

Channel numbers for Auto configuration mode

In the Auto Configuration mode, you can omit any zeros at beginning of channel. For example, channel 00101 can be expressed by 101.

When Kelvin cables are connected to Outputs

For the Kelvin outputs, the input-output paths must be controlled as shown below.

•For the input couple port:

Control the switches to connect the input couple port to the Kelvin output.

•For the single input port:

Control the switches to connect the input port to two ports of the Kelvin output.

If you do not comply with this note, leakage current between the Kelvin paths will cause measurement error.
