HP E1355A 8-Channel 120 Ohm Strain Relay Multiplexer

The HP E1355A 120 Ohm Strain Relay Multiplexer is a B - size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. This relay multiplexer provides bridge completion and excitation voltage circuitry for up to eight channels. The multiplexer module consists of a B-size component card (labeled E1345-66201) and a screw terminal block that plugs onto the component card. The HP E1355A is functionally similar to the HP E1345A, E1347A, and E1356A.

You can perform strain gage measurements with automatic conversions to engineering units on multiple multiplexer channels by sending SCPI commands to the DMMs, HP E1326B or E1411B. Strain measurements supported in SCPI with these HP DMMs are quarter, bending half/full, position half/full, and bending position full.

Diagnostics for the HP E1355A include Tension Shunt, Compression Shunt, Leadwire Resistance, Internal Half Bridge Voltage, Guard Voltage and Bridge Excitation Voltage.
