(Resistance Temperature Detector Type Default command) Sets the default Resistance
Temperature Detector (RTD) at power on and reset, which is kept in the Calibrator non-
volatile memory. (While saving configuration data in the non-volatile memory, a period
of about 2 seconds, the Calibrator does not respond to remote commands.)
