Advanced Operation and Configuration
Additional Information
Most of the measurements, generations and simulations presented
in this manual are straight forward: Just make the required window
settings and connect the instrument under test in the active termi-
nals and that’s it!
Some cases require additional settings and things to check before
you can be certain that the measurement, generation or simulation
works as expected. A typical example of this is temperature mea-
surement using a thermocouple. It is not enough to select the cor-
rect quantity and port in MC5P. The Sensor type and the Reference
Junction Mode has to be set accordingly, too. Wrong settings give
erroneous results.
Whenever this additional information may be of use in a measure-
ment, generation or simulation, text describing the function refers
to one of the following chapters. An experienced user need not jump
to read this supplemental text, but for a beginner we highly recom-
mend it.
The main subjects described here are:
Things to Consider when Measuring Pressure on page 91,
Thermocouple Measurement/Simulation, Connections and
Troubleshooting on page 93,
Resistance and RTD Measurement, Connections on page 97
Current Measurement Parallel to a Test Diode, Connections
on page 99 and
Parallel Functions in MC5P on page 100.
