Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST Alpha = 0.00385
:SYSTem:PRESet Alpha = 0.00385
Query :ALPHa? Query the Alpha value
Short-form format: :temp:rtd:alph?
Response message: 0 to 0.01
This command is used to check and/or change the Alpha value. Keep in mind that changing the
current Alpha value changes the Type to USER (see :RTD:TYPE).
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:temp:rtd:alph 0.0035; alph?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first changes the Alpha value to 0.0035,
and the second queries the Alpha value.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the Alpha value (0.0035).
:BETA <NRf>
[:SENSe[1]]:TEMPerature:RTD:BETA <NRf> Specify Beta value
Parameter <NRf> = 0 to 1 Specify RTD Beta value
Format :temp:rtd:beta <NRf>
Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST Beta = 0.111
:SYSTem:PRESet Beta = 0.111
Query :BETA? Query the Beta value
Short-form format: :temp:rtd:beta?
Response message: 0 to 1
Description This command is used to check and/or change the Beta value. Keep in mind that changing the
current Beta value changes the Type to USER (see :RTD:TYPE).
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:temp:rtd:beta 0.11; beta?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first changes the Beta value to 0.11, and
the second queries the Beta value.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the Beta value (0.11).
