WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD. Only service-trained personnel who are
aware of the hazards involved should install or configure the
multimeter. Remove all sources of power to the multimeter and
mainframe before removing the multimeter.
The maximum allowable input on the multimeter terminals is
300 V dc (450 V ac peak). Since the terminals are isolated from
the multimeter chassis, the potential between the terminals and
the chassis is equal to the value of the input signal.
Installation Overview
As mentioned in the HP VXIbus Systems Installation and Getting Started
Guide, each plug-in module has a row of switches which set the module’s
logical address. Based on this address, the system instrument within the
HP 75000 Series B mainframe and HP E1406A command module combines
the modules into virtual instruments. The instruments are programmed by a
computer using SCPI language or from a computer by writing commands
directly to the multimeter registers (see Appendix C).
This section shows the location of the multimeter’s logical address switch
and shows how it is set. It also mentions considerations when installing the
multimeter in the mainframe.
