2-24 Close/Open Switching Module Channels Model 2700 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual
Dual independent multiplexers
Using multiple channel operation, any multiplexer switching module can be configured as
two independent multiplexers. For example, the Model 7700 is normally used as a single
1
× 20 multiplexer, but it can also be configured as two 1 × 10 multiplexers.
NOTE Thermocouple temperature measurements using the internal or external
reference junction cannot be performed when using multiple channel operation
to connect an input channel to the DMM. The simulated reference junction will
instead be used resulting in invalid readings (“ERR” annunciator turns on). See
“Temperature measurements,” page 3-33, for details.
A multiplexer switching module is configured as two multiplexers by using multiple
channel operation to close the 2-pole/4-pole relay. The Model 7700 is configured as two
independent multiplexers by closing channel 23. As shown in
Figure 2-8, the closed
position of channel 23 isolates Multiplexer A (channels 1 through 10) from Multiplexer B
(channels 11 through 20).
For the dual multiplexer configuration, only Multiplexer A channels can be internally
connected to the DMM of the Model 2700. For the Model 7700, closing channel 25 allows
channels 1 through 10 to be measured by the DMM.
When using the dual multiplexer configuration, the sense backplane isolation relay must
be kept open to isolate Multiplexer B channels from the sense terminals of the DMM. For
the Model 7700, channel 24 must be kept open (
Figure 2-8).
