2-18 Voltage and Temperature Measurements

Temperature conﬁguration

If you are going to perform temperature measurements, you have to conﬁgure the Model 2182

appropriately from the temperature conﬁguration menu:

Temperature conﬁguration menu

The items of the temperature conﬁguration menu are explained as follows:

• UNITS — Select the desired units designator for temperature readings (˚C, ˚F, or K).

• SENS — Select the thermocouple (TCOUPLE) to perform temperature measurements

at the thermocouple. The internal (INTERNL) sensor is used to measure the internal

temperature of the Model 2182.

• TYPE — Select the thermocouple type that you are using to measure temperature (J, K,

T, E, R, S, B, or N).

• JUNC — Select INTRNL to reference measurements to the internal reference junction.

Select SIM to reference measurements to an external simulated reference. After selecting

SIM, you will be prompted to enter the simulated reference temperature.

After pressing SHIFT and then TCOUP to access the menu, use the following rules to

conﬁgure temperature:

• There are four menu items; UNITS, SENS, TYPE, and JUNC. Along with each menu

item, the present option is displayed. For example, if ˚C is the present units option, then

“UNITS: C” is displayed.

• Blinking characters indicate cursor position. The cursor can be on a menu item name (i.e.

“UNITS” blinking) or on an menu item option (i.e. “C” blinking). Cursor position is

controlled by the  and  keys.

•With the cursor on a menu item name, you can use the  or  key to scroll through the

other menu items. Pressing ENTER will select the displayed option and move on to the

next menu item (or exit if at end of menu).

•With the cursor on a menu item option, you can use the  or  key to display one of

the other options for that menu item. Pressing ENTER will select the displayed option

and move on to the next menu item (or exit if at end of menu). An exception is the SIM

menu item. After selecting SIM, you will be prompted to enter the simulated

temperature. Use the arrow keys to display the value and press ENTER.

• Pressing EXIT leaves the menu and returns to the normal display state.
