The MEASure? and CONFigure Commands

The MEASure? and CONFigure Commands

Both the MEASure? and CONFigure commands reset all measurement parameters to their default values. For more information on the default settings for these commands, see the table on page 201.

For the z parameter, MIN selects the lowest range for the selected function; MAX selects the highest range; AUTO or DEF selects autoranging. S “v v”3 z“z

“General Measurement Configuration” starting on page 98.

For the resolution parameter, specify the resolution in the same units as the measurement function, not in number of digits. MIN selects the smallest value accepted, which gives the highest resolution; MAX selects the largest value accepted, which gives the least resolution; DEF selects the default resolution which is 0.000003 x range (1 PLC). For more information on resolution, see the table on page 203.

MEASure? Command Syntax

MEASure:TEMPerature?5

TCouple,{BEJKNRSTDEF}

[,1[,< >MINMAXDEF}]] ,(@< >)

Configure the specified channels for thermocouple measurements and immediately sweep through the scan list one time. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The readings are sent directly to the

instrument’s output buffer but the readings vz stored in reading memory. The default (DEF) transducer type is a J-Type thermocouple.
