Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first changes the resistance value to
200Ω, and the second queries the resistance value.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the resistance value (200).

Description These commands program the various parameters for SPRTD (Standard Platinum Resistance
Thermometers). A single SPRTD, however, usually cannot be used to cover the entire range, so
the temperature range is broken up into several subranges. An SPRTD is supplied with a certif-
icate of calibration that lists the calibration constants and the temperature range supported. In
most cases, the supplied coefficients must be translated into Model 2001 values as summarized
in the table below. See paragraph 3.4.5 in Section 3 for more information.
