364 VT1422A Command Reference Chapter 7
[SENSe]
•Send with VXIplug&play Function: hpe1422_cmd(...)
Usage SENS:STRAIN:CONN EXC,(@10000:10031) configure strain RSC unit channels 00-31
connected to on-board channel 00 to
measure excitation voltages

[SENSe:]STRain:CONNect?

[SENSe:]STRain:CONNect? (@<channel>) returns the measurement connection
state for the single VT1529A/B channel specified by <channel>.
Parameters
Comments •The <channel> parameter must specify a single channel only.
•Returned Value: one of "BRID" or "EXC." The data type is string.
•Related Commands: SENSE:STR:CONN, SENSE:STRAIN:…,
SENSE:FUNC:STRAIN…
•*RST Condition: SENS:STR:CONN is BRIDGE for all VT1529A/B
channels.
•Send with VXIplug&play Function: hpe1422_cmdString_Q(...)
Usage SENS:STRAIN:CONN? (@10022) check the measurement connection for
strain RSC unit channel 22 connected to
on-board channel 00

[SENSe:]STRain:EXCitation

[SENSe:]STRain:EXCitation <excite_v>,(@<ch_list>) specifies the excitation
voltage value to be used in the strain EU conversion for the channels specified by
<ch_list>. The value used is usually measured at each strain bridge’s excitation point.
For the VT1529A/B, the MEAS:VOLT:EXCitation command will make the
measurements and automatically send the value to each measured channel’s EU
conversion.This command does not control the output voltage of any source.
Note The maximum excitation voltage the VT1422A can sense through the VT1529A/B’s
excitation sense path is 16 volts (±8 V dc centered about the Gnd terminal). If a higher
excitation voltage is supplied through the VT1529A/B, don’t connect the excitation
sense terminals.
