Operators Manual

If INT is returned, the reference temperature return is 0 unless you are in a thermocouple

mode of operation and the Calibrator is in Operate.

Responses: INT, <value of reference temperature>,CEL (or FAR)

EXT, <value of reference temperature>,CEL (or FAR)

Example: TC_REF? returns INT,2.988E+01,CEL

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.)

(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.

(Thermocouple Type query) Returns the Thermocouple (TC) temperature sensor type.

When the thermocouple type is changed while simulating a temperature output, the

temperature is changed to 0 °C.

Responses: B (B-type thermocouple)
