Temperature Measurement Configuration

∙Remote Interface Operation: 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.
