CONFigure Command SyntaxCONFigure:TEMPerature {TCouple},{BEJKNRSTDEF}

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

Configure the specified channels for thermocouple measurements but do not initiate the scan. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The default (DEF) transducer type is a J-Type thermocouple.

CONFigure:TEMPerature {RTDFRTD},{8591DEF}

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

Configure the specified channels for 2-wire or 4-wire RTD measurements but do not initiate the scan. Use “85” to specify α = 0.00385 or “91” to specify α = 0.00391. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The default (DEF) type is “85” (α = 0.00385).

For 4-wire RTD measurements (FRTD), the instrument automatically pairs channel n with channel n+10 (34901A) or n+8 (34902A) to provide

the source and sense connections. For example, make the source5 connections to the HI and LO terminals on channel 2 and the sense connections to the HI and LO terminals on channel 12. Specify the

paired channel in the lower bank (source) as the scan_list channel.

CONFigure:TEMPerature {THERmistor},{2252500010000DEF}

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

Configure the specified channels for thermistor measurements but

do not initiate the scan. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The default (DEF) transducer type is a 5 kΩ thermistor.
