34401A Digital Multimeter, 6½ Digit
The Agilent 34401A multimeter is a tool kit of useful testing functions. In addition to the standard functions you’ve come to expect from a high quality digital multimeter, you also get many other capabilities, from min/max/avg to built-in limit testing. 6½ digit precision measurements for an affordable price means you can make measurements with confidence without breaking your budget.
MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY
- .0035% basic DC accuracy
- .06% basic AC accuracy
- .01% basic Ω accuracy
SYSTEM CAPABILITY
- 1000 readings/second in ASCII format across the GPIB bus
- Configuration rates: 26/sec to 50/sec
- Autorange rate (DCV): > 30/sec
34401A Limit Testing
The limit test operation enables you to perform pass/fail testing to upper and lower limits that you specify.
Getting Started
Allowable Functions - Limit test will work with DC Voltage, AC Voltage, DC Current, AC Current, 2 Wire Ohms, 4 Wire Ohms, Frequency, Period, and Ratio measurements. (all measurement functions except Continuity and Diode.)
Upper Limit - The upper limit can be set to any value between 0 and ±120% of the highest range, for the present function. The upper limit selected should always be a more positive number than the lower limit. The default upper limit is "0".
Lower Limit - The lower limit can be set to any value between 0 and ±120% of the highest range, for the present function. The default lower limit is "0".
Audio Warning - The Agilent 34401A will emit a tone whenever a limit is exceeded in a limit test. The front-panel beeper can be disabled--refer to the section titled "Beeper Control" in Chapter 3 of the Agilent 34401A User's Guide.
Front Panel Example
Enable the limit test to warn of DC Voltage measurements above 3 Volts and below -5 Volts.
- Select the measurement function. Press the [DCV] key on the front panel to select DC Voltage measurements (this is the default).
- Set the upper limit. Turn on the menu by pressing [SHIFT][On/Off]. You should see A: MEAS MENU. Press the right arrow key; the display should change to show B: MATH MENU. Press the down arrow once, then the right arrow until you see 6: HIGH LIMIT and press the down arrow again. Enter in the value 3 Volts using the left and right arrow keys to select the digit, and the up and down arrow keys to change the value of that digit. To change the range, highlight the voltage term at the right and increase or decrease using the up and down arrow keys. Press the [ENTER] key to save the change and exit the menu.
- Set the lower limit. Now that you have adjusted the upper limit, you can press [SHIFT][Recall] to re-enter the menu at the last parameter you adjusted (6: HIGH LIMIT). Press the right arrow once to select 7: LOW LIMIT and press the down arrow to modify the parameter to read -5 Volts. Press the down arrow key twice to change the sign first to positive, then to negative. Press [ENTER] to save the change and exit the menu.
- Enable the limit test. Press [SHIFT][Recall] to re-enter the menu at the last parameter adjusted (7: LOW LIMIT). Press the left arrow twice to select 5: LIMIT TEST and press the down arrow to modify the parameter. Use the right or left arrow keys to toggle between OFF and ON. Select ON and press [ENTER] to save the change and exit the menu. The MATH annunciator on the display will be lit.
When a signal is applied to the meter terminals, the signal is first measured and then the limit test is performed. The multimeter displays "OK" for each reading that is within the specified limits. It displays "HI" or "LO" for each reading that exceeds the upper or lower limit. If the front-panel beeper is enabled (default), the multimeter will beep once on the first occurrence of a failed reading after a good reading.
Programming Example
Below is a sample program in HP Basic for the front-panel example. The example set up a limit test on DC Voltage measurements with an upper limit of 3 Volts and a lower limit of -5 Volts.
If you wish to bring readings across into the computer, replace line 140 with the following two lines:
Consider the Following
Pass/Fail Output Signals - There are two unused pins on the RS-232 interface connector which are available to indicate the pass/fail status of readings taken with limit testing. A low-going pulse is output to pin 1 for each reading that is within the specified limits. A low-going pulse is output to pin 9 for each reading that exceeds the upper or lower limit.
To configure these pins for limit testing, you must install two jumpers inside the multimeter. Instructions to connect these signals are provided in the 34401A Service Guide. Do not use the RS-232 interface if you have configured the multimeter to output pass/fail signals. Internal components on the RS-232 interface may be damaged. The GP-IB interface is not affected.
The 34401A can be configured to generate a service request (SRQ) on the first occurrence of a failed reading. Refer to the section titled "The SCPI Status Model" in Chapter 4 of the 34401A User's Guide.
