Temperature Measurement Configuration

∙exx Vxytvx bxt”: You can use the MEASure? or CONFigure command to select the probe type and RTD type.

For example, the following statement configures channel 301 for

2-wire measurements of an RTD with α = 0.00385 (use “85” to specify

α = 0.00385 or “91” to specify α = 0.00391).

CONF:TEMP RTD,85,(@301)
You can also use the SENSe command to select the probe type,
RTD type, and nominal resistance. For example, the following
statement configures channel 103 for 4-wire measurements of an
RTD with α = 0.00391 (channel 103 is automatically paired with
channel 113 for the 4-wire measurement).
SENS:TEMP:TRAN:FRTD:TYPE 91,(@103)
The following statement sets the nominal resistance (R0) to 1000Ω	4
on channel 103.

SENS:TEMP:TRAN:FRTD:RES 1000,(@103)
