VXI VT1422A - Manual (Page 469)

VT1529A/B Verification & Calibration 467 Appendix C
Procedure
Set the Voltage Source to +5.000 V. Send the MEAS:VOLT:EXCitation?
(@<ch_list>) command to the VT1422A. The expected measurement value
is approximately +2.5 V on each channel.
Troubleshooting Failures
Check that the Dummy Load is wired and working correctly and firmly
seated in the RJ-45 input connector. If all 8 channels of one block of
VT1529A/B channels are failing, check that the Voltage Source is
connected to the correct terminals on the Bridge Excitation input on the
VT1529A/B.
Test V-4: Bridge
Resistors
Description
This test verifies the operation of the internal bridge completion resistors
and associated switches in the VT1529A/B.
The operation of the internal bridge resistors can be measured by
unbalancing the bridge circuit. The bridge output voltage is a function of the
resistor value as given by the following formula:
