The SENSe suffix,<chn>, specifies the channel (1 to 4). The parameter is
ohms for lowrange PRTs, Kohms for high range PRTs and thermistors, and
millivoltsfor thermocouples. The second returned parameter is always 0 for
PRTsand themistors and the reference junction temperature for thermocouples.
8.4.2 Measurement Control Commands
The measurementcontrol commands are used to query and set the moving av-
erage filter,the resistance range, the number of probe wires, and the sequence
timer.The measurement control commands for resistance range and the number
of probe wires are passwordprotected.

8.4.2.3 SENSe:AVERage:COUNt? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returns the moving averagefilter setting.
SENS:AVER:COUN?

Specifying the MIN parameter returns a value of 1, specifying the MAX pa-
rameter returnsa value of 10, and specifying the DEF parameter returns a value
of 1. The *RST command sets the averagecount to the default (1).
8.4.2.4 SENSe:AVERage:COUNt <num>|MIN|MAX|DEF
Sets the moving averagefilter setting.
SENS:AVER:COUNMIN
The <num>parameter must be a number between 1 and 10. Specifying the
MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter sets the moving average filtersetting to the
minimum, maximum, or default,resp ectively.The *RST command sets the
movingaverage to 1.
8.4.2.5 SENSe<chn>:RESistance:RANGe? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returnsthe resistance range setting.
