Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first configures operation for Type K
thermocouples, and the second queries the thermocouple type.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the thermocouple type (K).
4.19.22 :RJUNctionX
[:SENSe[1]]:TEMPerature:RJUNctionX
Parameter X= 1 to 5 Specify reference junction
Description Used to configure the specified reference junction for thermocouple temperature measurements.
Typically, each thermocouple switching card uses a single reference junction.
:RSELect <name>
[:SENSe[1]]:TEMPerature:RJUNctionX:RSELect <name> Specify reference junction type
Parameters <name> = SIMulated Use simulated temperature as reference
= REAL Use a measured temperature as reference
Format :temp:rjunX:rsel <name>
where; X = 1 to 5 (reference junction #)
Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST SIMulated
:SYSTem:PRESet SIMulated
Query :RSELect? Query reference junction type
Short-form format: :temp:rjunX:rsel?
where; X = 1 to 5 (reference junction #)
Response message: SIM or REAL
Description This command is used to specify the type of reference junction that is going to be used for ther-
mocouple temperature measurements. Specify REAL if using an actual reference junction. The
:REAL:TCoefficient command is then used to specify the temperature coefficient of the refer-
ence junction.
Specify SIMulated if you wish to use a simulated reference temperature. The :SIMulated com-
mand is then used to specify the desired simulated reference temperature.
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:temp:rjun1:rsel sim; rsel?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$

Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first selects a simulated reference for
reference junction #1, and the second queries the reference type.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the reference type for reference junction #1 (SIM).
