The MEASure? and CONFigure Commands

CONFigure Command Syntax

CONFigure:TEMPerature {TCouple},{BEJKNRSTDEF}

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

Configure the specified channels for thermocouple measurements but

 

y

initiate the scan. bz v xvy v

.

The default (DEF) transducer type is a J-Type thermocouple.

 

CONFigure:TEMPerature {RTDFRTD},{8591DEF}

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

Configure the specified channels for 2-wire or 4-wire RTD measurements

but y initiate the scan. Use “85” to specify α = 0.00385 or “91” to

specify α = 0.00391. b v xvy v yz“z xv. The default (DEF) type is “85” (α = 0.00385).

For 4-wire RTD measurements (FRTD), the instrument automatically

 

pairs channel

with channel 87 (34901A) or D

(34902A) to provide

 

the source and sense connections. For example, make the xz

5

connections to the HI and LO terminals on channel 2 and the z

connections to the HI and LO terminals on channel 12. Specify the

 

paired channel in the lower bank (source) as the vt

channel.

 

CONFigure:TEMPerature

 

 

 

{THERmistor},{2252500010000DEF}

 

 

 

[,1[,<

>MINMAXDEF}]] ,(@<

>)

 

Configure the specified channels for thermistor measurements but

 

y

initiate the scan. bz v xvy v

.

 

The default (DEF) transducer type is a 5 kΩ thermistor.
