Instr. # Circuit Description
4 DC Half Bridge The delay parameter
allows the user entered
settling time com-
pensate for capacitance
in long lead lengths. No
polarity reversal. One
single-ended measure-
ment. Measured
voltage output.
5 AC Half Bridge Rapid reversal of
excitation polarity for
ion depolarization.
One single-ended
measurement at each
excitation polarity.
Ratiometric output.
6 4 Wire One differential
Full Bridge measurement at each
excitation polarity.
Ratiometric output.
Instr. # Circuit Description
7 3 Wire Compensates for lead
Half Bridge wire resistance,
assuming resistance is
same in both wires.
Two single-ended
measurements at each
excitation polarity.
Ratiometric output.
8 Differential Makes a differential
Measurement measurement without
with Excitation reversing excitation
polarity. Used for fast
measurements on load
cells, PRTs etc.
Resolution and common
mode rejection worse
than 6 if used with delay
= 0. Measured voltage
output.
9 6 Wire Compensates for lead
Full Bridge wire resistance. Two
or 4 Wire differential measure-
Half Bridge ments at each
excitation polarity.
Ratiometric output.
