Advanced Programming with the VT1529B
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the advanced capability that is possible with the 
VT1529B Remote Strain Conditioning Unit (RSCU). This includes being 
able to scan thermocouples and high-level dc voltages in addition to strain 
measurements. Also, the strain bridge excitation voltage can be included as 
part of the scan list and have the VXIplug&play driver use the updated 
excitation voltage for a more accurate engineering units conversion. Using 
the advanced features changes some of the VT1422A behavior and this 
chapter describes these changes.
Additional Capabilities of the VT1529B
With the VT1529B/39A, only strain measurements can be made. For other 
measurements, such as 1-16 V dc or thermocouple temperature 
measurements, other SCPs (for example, the VT1511A Direct Input SCP or 
the VT1509A Fixed Filter and Amplifier SCP) must be used. The 
disadvantage of this solution is that a direct connection must be made 
between the VT1422A and the sensor being measured and this can mean long 
lengths of expensive shielded, twisted pair cables for each sensor, when it 
would probably be prefered to make these measurements using the 
VT1529A, with its 32:1 multiplexing and single cable back to the VT1422A.
Additionally, all VT1529A strain excitation voltages are measured once, when 
the INITiate:IMMediate command is executed. If the excitation supply 
varies over time, it is typically preferred that the excitation voltage be 
measured periodically and the new values be used in the strain computation.
