5520A
Operators Manual
6-48
Returns Internal, 29.88, Celsius, when the thermocouple reference is internal and at
29.88 °C. (If the temperature return for the internal reference is 0 (0.00E+00), the
Calibrator is not in Operate, and/or the Calibrator is not in a thermocouple mode.)
TC_TYPE
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xxx
(Thermocouple Type command) Sets the Thermocouple (TC) temperature sensor type.
The TC type is used when the output is set to a temperature value with the OUT
command and the temperature sensor type is set to TC with the TSENS_TYPE
command. When the thermocouple type is changed while simulating a temperature
output, the temperature is changed to 0 °C. Once set, the Calibrator retains the TC type
until power off or reset.
Parameters: 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 J
Set the thermocouple type for simulating a temperature output to a J-type thermocouple.
