PROGRAM EXECUTION RATE
10 ms to 30 min. @ 10 ms increments
ANALOG INPUTS
8 differential (DF) or 16 single-ended (SE) individually
configured. Channel expansion provided by AM16/32
and AM25T multiplexers.
RANGES, RESOLUTION AND TYPICAL INPUT
NOISE: Basic resolution (Basic Res) is the A/D
resolution of a single conversion. Resolution of
DF measurements with input reversal is half the
Basic Res. Noise values are for DF measurements
with input reversal; noise is greater with SE mea-
surements.

The sensor and measurement noise are not included and
the offsets are the following:
Offset for DF w/input reversal = 1.5·Basic Res + 1.0 µV
Offset for DF w/o input reversal = 3·Basic Res + 2.0 µV
Offset for SE = 3·Basic Res + 3.0 µV
MINIMUM TIME BETWEEN VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENTS: Includes the measurement time
and conversion to engineering units. For voltage
measurements, the CR1000 integrates the input
signal for 0.25 ms or a full 16.66 ms or 20 ms line
cycle for 50/60 Hz noise rejection. DF measure-
ments with input reversal incorporate two integra-
tions with reversed input polarities to reduce thermal
offset and common mode errors and therefore take
twice as long.

ANALOG OUTPUTS

one at a time.

grammable between ±2.5 V with 0.67 mV resolution.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS
MEASUREMENT TYPES: The CR1000 provides
ratiometric measurements of 4- and 6-wire full
bridges, and 2-, 3-, and 4-wire half bridges.
Precise, dual polarity excitation using any of the
3 switched voltage excitations eliminates dc errors.

at least 1000 mV, not including bridge resistor error.

The sensor and measurement noise are not included and
the offsets are the following:
Offset for DF w/input reversal = 1.5·Basic Res + 1.0 µV
Offset for DF w/o input reversal = 3·Basic Res + 2.0 µV
Offset for SE = 3·Basic Res + 3.0 µV
Offset values are reduced by a factor of 2 when
excitation reversal is used.
PERIOD AVERAGING MEASUREMENTS
The average period for a single cycle is determined by
measuring the average duration of a specified number
of cycles. The period resolution is 192 ns divided by
the specified number of cycles to be measured; the
period accuracy is ±(0.01% of reading + resolution).
Any of the 16 SE analog inputs can be used for period
averaging. Signal limiting are typically required for the
SE analog channel.
