*** 4 EXCITE, DELAY, AND MEASURE ***
FUNCTION
This instruction is used to apply an excitation
voltage, delay a specified time, and then make
a single-ended voltage measurement. The
result is in millivolts when a multiplier of one and
an offset of zero are used. A 1 before the
excitation channel number (1X) causes the
channel to be incremented with each repetition.
The 50 and 60 Hz rejection ranges (Section
13.1) do not have enough time between
integrations to allow a delay.

*** 5 AC HALF BRIDGE ***
FUNCTION
This instruction is used to apply an excitation
voltage to a half bridge (Figure 13.5-1), make a
single-ended voltage measurement of the
bridge output, reverse the excitation voltage,
then repeat the measurement. The difference
between the two measurements is used to
calculate the resulting value which is the ratio of
the measurement to the excitation voltage. A 1
before the excitation channel number (1X)
causes the channel to be incremented with
each repetition.
The excitation "on time" for each polarity is
exactly the same to insure that ionic sensors do
not polarize with repetitive measurements. The
range should be selected to be a fast
measurement (range 11-15), limiting the
excitation on time to less than 800
microseconds at each polarity. A slow
integration time should not be used with ionic
sensors because of polarization error.
