SettlingTime

Constant

The time in microseconds to delay between setting up a measurement (switching to
the channel, setting the excitation) and making the measurement. (1 microsecond
resolution)

Mult, Offset

Constant,
Variable,
Array, or
Expression

A multiplier and offset by which to scale the raw results of the measurement. See the
measurement description for the units of the raw result; a multiplier of one and an
offset of 0 are necessary to output in the raw units. For example, the TCDiff
instruction measures a thermocouple and outputs temperature in degrees C. A
multiplier of 1.8 and an offset of 32 will convert the temperature to degrees F.

AO4 (Source, Reps, SDMAdress)

This instruction is used to set the voltage to an SDM-AO4 four channel analog
output device.

The AO4 instruction has the following parameters:

Parameter
& Data Type

Enter

Source

The Source parameter is the variable that hold the voltage, in millivolts, that
should be sent to the SDM-AO4. If multiple SDM-AO4s are to be triggered
with one instruction, this parameter must be an array dimensioned to the size
of the Reps.

Reps

The Reps parameter determines the number of SDM-AO4 devices to supply
a voltage using this instruction. The SDM-A04s must have sequential SDM
addresses if the Reps parameter is greater than 1.

SDMAddress

The SDMAddress parameter defines the address of the SDM-AO4 to which
a voltage should be applied. Valid SDM addresses are 0 through 14.
Address 15 is reserved for the SDMTrigger instruction.

The SDM address is entered as a base 10 number, unlike older, jumper-
settable SDM instruments that used base 4.
