(Temperature Degree Standard command) Returns the temperature standard ipts-68
(1968 International Provisional Temperature Standard) or its-90 (1990 International
Temperature Standard).
Parameters: IPTS_68
ITS_90
Example: TEMP_STD? returns ITS_90
Returns ITS_90 when the temperature degree standard is the 1990 International
Temperature Standard.

(Trigger Thermocouple Measurement command) Triggers a thermocouple temperature
measurement and return the value of the measurement. Also changes the operating mode
to thermocouple measurement if this is not already the operating mode. (This command is
equivalent to sending TC_MEAS;*WAI;VAL?)
Responses: <measurement value>,CEL (value is in Celsius)
<measurement value>,FAR (value is in Fahrenheit)
0.00E+00,OVER (value is over or under capability)
0.00E+00,OPENTC (open thermocouple)
0.00E+00,NONE (wrong mode or no measurement)
Example: *TRG returns +2.500E+01,CEL
Trigger a thermocouple measurement and return 25.00 Celsius when the thermocouple
temperature measurement is 25 °C.

(Temperature Sensor Type command) Sets the temperature sensor type to thermocouple
(TC) or Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) for temperature measurements. The
Calibrator simulates the RTD temperature as a resistance output on the NORMAL
terminals, and simulates the thermocouple temperature as a dc voltage output on the TC
terminals. If the temperature sensor type is changed, the temperature output is reset to 0
degrees C. Once set, the Calibrator retains the temperature sensor type until power off or
reset.
Parameters: TC (Thermocouple)
RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)
Example: TSENS_TYPE RTD
Set the temperature sensor type to an RTD.
