Parameter
& Data Type

Enter

ExChan

Enter the excitation channel number to excite the first measurement.

Result

VX1 1

Switched excitation channels, are switched to the excitation
voltage.

VX2 2

for the measurement and switched off between measurements.

VX3 3

VX4 4

ExmV
Constant

The excitation voltage in millivolts. Allowable range ± 5000 mV.

XDelay

Specifies the length of time the excitation is enabled, after which, the channel is
set low and the datalogger moves on to the next instruction. If XDelay is set to 0,
the excitation will be on until the end of the program scan or until another
instruction sets an excitation voltage, CAO, or current channel.

7.7 Self Measurements

Battery (Dest)

This instruction reads the battery voltage and stores it in the destination
variable. The units for battery voltage are volts.

PanelTemp (Dest, Integ)

This instruction measures the panel temperature in

°C.

Parameter
& Data Type

Enter

Dest

Variable or
Array

The Variable in which to store the results of the instruction. When Reps are used the
results are stored in an array with the variable name. An array must be dimensioned to
have elements for all the Reps.

Integ

The time spent on integration in microseconds for each of the channels measured.
