General Information
•
The E1412A (VXI C-size) Multimeter is a VXIbus message-based
slave device.
•
Programming the multimeter can either be through a command module
using an GPIB 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
rms
or 300 V
dc
.
•
Maximum current is 3A AC
rms
or DC.
•
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.
