(Thermocouple Temperature Measurement Offset command) Adds a temperature offset
to thermocouple measurements (±500 °C). This command does not apply to
thermocouple sourcing.
Parameters: <value> CEL (offset in Celsius) (optional)
<value> FAR (offset in Fahrenheit) (optional)
Example: TC_OFFSET +10 CEL
Add a temperature offset of +10 °C to the thermocouple measurements.

(Thermocouple Temperature Measurement Offset query) Shows 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? shows 1.000E+01,CEL
Shows 10 Celsius when a temperature offset of +10 °C has been added to the
thermocouple measurements.
TC_OTCD

xx xxx
(Thermocouple Open Detection command) Activates or deactivates the open
thermocouple detection circuit in thermocouple measurement mode. When set, the
Calibrator keeps 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 shown on the front panel.

(Thermocouple Open Detection query) Shows 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? shows ON
Shows ON when the open thermocouple detection circuit is activated.
