Interface Commands
Adds a new probe denition to the Probe Library. Before a probe can be assigned to a channel and tem-
perature measured, the probe must have its denition added to the Probe Library (see Section 8.7.3.57,
INP<n>:PROB:IDEN <id>, on page 85).
Parameter <id> is the ID of the new probe denition. It can contain letters, numerals, hyphens, periods, for-
ward slashes, and underscores. It must be between one and 24 characters in length, inclusive.
If <id> is different from all other IDs in the Probe Library and space is available in the Probe Library, a new
probe denition will be added and given the specied ID. The probe parameters will initially be set to default
values. The command INP:PROB:PAR should be used to set the parameters.
If <id> matches the ID of a probe already in the Probe Library or the Probe Library is full, no new probe de-
nition is added, and error -224, “Illegal parameter value” will be generated in the error queue.
8.7.3.54 INP:PROB:COUN?
Alternate parameter: MAX
Reads the number of probe denitions in the Probe Library.
8.7.3.55 INP:PROB:DEL <id>
Example command: INP:PROB:DEL “PRT_A46002”
Password protection: Probe Protection
Deletes a probe denition from the Probe Library.
Parameter <id> is the ID of the probe denition to delete. If <id> does not match the ID of any probe in the
Probe Library, nothing is deleted, and error -224, “Illegal parameter value” is generated in the error queue.
If the deleted probe was assigned to a channel the channel’s probe setting is changed to undened (see Section
8.7.3.57, INP<n>:PROB:IDEN <id>, on page 85).
8.7.3.56 INP:PROB:FIRS?
Example response: “PRT_A46002”
Reads the ID of the rst probe in the Probe Library. It also resets the library index used by the
INP:PROB:NEXT? command.
If the Probe Library is empty the response is an empty string, “”.
8.7.3.57 INP<n>:PROB:IDEN <id>
Example command: INP1:PROB:IDEN “PRT_A46002”
Example command: INP2:PROB:IDEN NONE
Query form: INP<n>:PROB:IDEN?
Assigns a probe denition to the channel.
Sufx <n> species the channel number: 1 through 4 for the corresponding front channel input, 5 through 14
for channels of the rst attached scanner, and 15 through 24 for channels of the second attached scanner.
Parameter <id> must either be the ID of a probe denition in the Probe Library, or “NONE” (undened). En-
closing quotations marks are optional. If <id> does not match the ID of a probe denition in the Probe Library,
error -224,“Illegal parameter value” is generated in the error queue.
If a valid probe ID is assigned to the channel, the response to the query form is the ID of the probe enclosed in
quotation marks. If the assigned probe is undened, the response is “NONE” without quotation marks.
The channel’s Calculation setting will automatically be set to resistance if it was temperature when the chan-
nel’s assigned probe is set to NONE.
8.7.3.58 INP:PROB:NEXT?
Example response: “A71040”
