Resistance Parameters 
Parameter 
& Data Type 
Enter
Dest
Variable or 
Array
The Variable in which to store the results of the instruction. When Reps are used the 
results are stored in an array with the variable name. An array must be dimensioned to 
have elements for all the Reps. 
Reps
Constant
The number of repetitions for the measurement or instruction.

Range 
mV5000 0
± 5000 mV
mV1000 1
± 1000 mV
mV200 2
± 200 mV
mV50 3
± 50 mV
mV20 4
± 20 mV
AutoRange 5
mV20 - mV5000 Selects range (Sect. 3.1)
DiffChan
Constant
The differential channel number on which to make the first measurement. When Reps are 
used, subsequent measurements will be automatically made on the following differential 
channels. If the channel is entered as a negative number, all reps occur on that channel. 
IxChan
Enter the current excitation channel number to use to excite the first measurement.

MeasPEx
Constant
The number of sensors to excite with the same excitation channel before automatically 
advancing to the next excitation channel. To excite all the sensors with the same 
excitation channel, the number should equal the number of Reps. With current excitation, 
the sensors must be wired in series when more than one measurement per excitation is 
made. 
ExuA
Constant
The excitation current in microamps. The allowable range is ±2500 µA. RevEx may be 
used to excite with both a positive and negative polarity to cancel offset voltages. 
RevEx
Code Value
Result
(Reversing requires twice as much time to complete)
Constant
False
0
Excite only with the current polarity entered
True
≠0
A second measurement is made with the voltage polarity 
reversed to cancel offsets 
RevDiff
Code Value
Result
(Reversing requires twice as much time to complete)
Constant
False 0 Signal is measured with the high side referenced to the low
True
≠0
A second measurement is made after reversing the inputs to 
cancel offsets
