Remote Operation
Set the Output Entry Mode :INSTrument:MODE:ENTRy {Mode}
{Mode} must be VOLT (for voltage) or TEMP (for temperature).
Example: :INST:MODE:ENTR TEMP sets the instrument entry mode to temperature.
Query the Entry Mode :INSTrument:MODE:ENTRy?
Returns either VOLT (for voltage) or TEMP (for temperature).
Example: :INST:MODE:ENTR? returns VOLT.
Set the System-temperature Unit of Measure :UNIT:TEMPerature {Unit of measure}
Valid entries for {Unit of Measure} are C, F, R, and K. Any temperature except output offset
temperatures will be converted to the new system temperature unit of measure.
Example: :UNIT:TEMP F sets the temperature unit of measure to Fahrenheit.
Query the System-temperature Unit of Measure :UNIT:TEMPerature?
Returns C, F, R, or K.
Example: :UNIT:TEMP? may return C.
Set the Instrument Temperature Standard :INSTrument:TEMPerature:STANdard {Standard}
{Standard} must be ITS-90 or IPTS-68.
Note: Changing the instrument’s temperature standard will change the names used for
thermocouple Types B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T. Refer to Thermocouple Commands and
Queries above for details.
Example: :INST:TEMP:STAN ITS-90 sets the International Temperature Scale of 1990.
Query the Instrument Temperature Standard :INSTrument:TEMPerature:STANdard?
Returns ITS-90 or IPTS-68.
Example: :INST:TEMP:STAN? returns ITS-90.
Set the System Voltage Unit of Measure :UNIT:VOLTage {Voltage unit of measure}
{Voltage unit of measure} must be mV (millivolts) or V (volts).
Example: :UNIT:VOLT V sets the system voltage unit of measure to volts.
Query the System Voltage Unit of Measure :UNIT:VOLTage?
Returns mV or V.
Example: :UNIT:VOLT? returns mV.
