4.14 Thermocouple Function — Operation
4.14.1
This sub-section is a guide to the use of the 9100 for simulating thermocouples, producing
a DC Voltage output related to temperature. The following topics are covered:
4.14.2 Selection of Thermocouple Function.
4.14.2.1 'Aux' Key.
4.14.2.2 Default Settings.
4.14.3 Screen Keys.
4.14.3.1 Bottom Screen Keys.
4.14.3.2 Right Side Screen Keys.
4.14.3.3 Selecting Other Thermocouple Types.
4.14.3.4 Temperature Scales
4.14.4 Delivery of DC Voltage Thermocouple Simulation.
4.14.4.1 Simulation Drive.
4.14.4.2 Software Compensation.
4.14.4.3 Simulation Analog.
4.14.4.4 External Connections.
4.14.5 Value Editing.
4.14.5.1 Span of Temperature Adjustment.
4.14.6 Crossing Thresholds.
4.14.6.1 Temperature Resolution.
4.14.6.2 Hardware Configurations.
4.14.7 Thermocouple Routines for Calibrating UUTs.
4.14.7.1 Interconnections

In this sub-section, we deal with the range of thermocouple simulation facilities, in a
concise way. For those who require more detailed instructions for manipulating the front
panel controls, the DC Voltage function was used as an example for the general
familiarization tutorials in Section 3, and this may provide an introduction to the function.
