IEEE-488 RS-232
x x xx
x
(Thermocouple Temperature Measurement Offset query) Return the temperature offset
used for thermocouple measurements (+500 °C).
Responses: <value> CEL (offset in Celsius) (optional)
<value> FAR (offset in Fahrenheit) (optional)
Example: TC_OFFSET? returns 1.000E+01,CEL
Return 10 Celsius when a temperature offset of +10 °C has been added to the
thermocouple measurements.
TC_OTCD
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xxx
(Thermocouple Open Detection command) Activate or deactivate the open
thermocouple detection circuit in thermocouple measurement mode. Once set, the 5500A
Calibrator retains the open thermocouple detection circuit setting until power off or
reset.
Parameters: ON (turn on thermocouple detection circuit) (default)
OFF (turn off thermocouple detection circuit)
Example: TC_OTCD ON
Activate the open thermocouple detection circuit. If an open thermocouple is detected,
this condition is displayed on the front panel.
TC_OTCD?
Sequential Overlapped
Coupled
IEEE-488 RS-232
x x xx
x
(Thermocouple Open Detection query) Return the status of the open thermocouple
detection circuit in thermocouple measurement mode.
Responses: ON (thermocouple detection circuit is on)
OFF (thermocouple detection circuit is off)
Example: TC_OTCD? returns ON
Return ON when the open thermocouple detection circuit is activated.
TC_REF
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xxx
(Thermocouple Reference command) Set whether the internal temperature sensor (INT)
or an external reference value (EXT) is used for Thermocouple (TC) outputs and
measurements. If the first parameter is EXT, the second parameter must be the
temperature value to use as the reference for the thermocouple reference junction
temperature. Once set, the 5500A Calibrator retains the reference setting until power off
or reset.
Parameters: INT
EXT, <value of external reference> CEL (or FAR)
Example: TC_REF EXT, 25.6 CEL
Set the thermocouple reference to external, with a value of 25.6 °C.
