(Thermocouple Type Default query) Return the default thermocouple (TC) sensor type.
Responses: B (B-type thermocouple)
C (C-type thermocouple)
E (E-type thermocouple)
J (J-type thermocouple)
K (K-type thermocouple) (default)
N (N-type thermocouple)
R (R-type thermocouple)
S (S-type thermocouple)
T (T-type thermocouple)
X (10 µV/°C linear output)
Example: TC_TYPE_D? returns K
Return K when the thermocouple type default is a type-K thermocouple.

(Temperature Degree Standard command) Select the temperature standard ipts-68 (1968
International Provisional Temperature Standard) or its-90 (1990 International
Temperature Standard), 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.) The default is its-90.
Parameters: IPTS_68
ITS_90
Example: TEMP_STD ITS-90
