(Thermocouple Type query) Shows the Thermocouple (TC) temperature sensor type.
When the thermocouple type is changed while you simulate a temperature output, the
temperature is changed to 0 °C.
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)
Y (% relative humidity)
Z (1 mV/°C linear output)
Example: TC_TYPE? shows K
Shows K when the thermocouple type to simulate a temperature output is a K-type
thermocouple.

(Thermocouple Type Default command) Sets the default thermocouple (TC) sensor type,
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.) The TC type is set to the default at power on and reset.
