(Resistance Temperature Detector Type query) Return the Resistance Temperature
Detector (RTD) type used for RTD temperature simulations.
Responses: PT385 (100-ohm RTD, curve α=0.00385 ohms/ohm/°C)
PT3926 (100-ohm RTD, curve α=0.003926 ohms/ohm/°C)
NI120 (120-ohm RTD, empirical Curve)
Example: RTD_TYPE? returns PT3926
Return PT3926 when a 100-ohm RTD with curve α=0.003926 ohms/ohm/°C is set as
the RTD type.

(Resistance Temperature Detector Type Default command) Set the default Resistance
Temperature Detector (RTD) at power on and reset, which is saved in the 5500A non-
volatile memory. (While saving configuration data in the non-volatile memory, a period
of about 2 seconds, the 5500A does not respond to remote commands.)
Parameters: PT385 (100-ohm RTD, curve α=0.00385 ohms/ohm/°C)
PT3926 (100-ohm RTD, curve α=0.003926 ohms/ohm/°C)
NI120 (120-ohm RTD, empirical Curve)
Example: RTD_TYPE_D PT3926
Set the RTD default type to a 100-ohm RTD with curve α=0.003926 ohms/ohm/°C.

NI120 (120-ohm RTD, empirical Curve)
Example: RTD_TYPE_D? returns PT3926
Return PT3926 when the RTD default type is a 100-ohm RTD with curve
α=0.003926 ohms/ohm/°C.
