[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:TYPE {B | E | J | K | N | R | S | T | DEF} [, (@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:TYPE? [(@<ch_list>)]
Only supported in DAQM900A, DAQM901A, and DAQM902A multiplexer modules.
Selects the thermocouple type for thermocouple measurements. Query returns the thermocouple type as a quoted
letter.
Parameter Typical return
{B | E | J | K | N | R | S | T}
Default: J
B, E, J, K, N, R, S, or T
Sets the thermocouple to J: TEMP:TRAN:TC:TYPEJ
– Thermocouple measurements require a reference junction temperature (see [SENSe:]TEMPer-
ature:TRANsducer:TCouple:RJUNction:TYPE command). For the reference junction temperature, you can use
an internal measurement on the module (DAQM900A, DAQM901A, and DAQM902A), an external thermistor or
RTD measurement, or a known fixed junction temperature. By default, a fixed reference junction temperature of
0.0 °C is used.
– This parameter is set to its default value after a Factory Reset (*RST command).
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TYPE {<probe_type> [, (@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TYPE? [(@<ch_list>)]
Selects the transducer probe type to use for temperature measurements. The supported probes are thermocouples
(type J, K, E, T, N, R, B and S), 2-wire and 4-wire RTDs, 2-wire and 4-wire thermistors.
Only supported in DAQM900A, DAQM901A, DAQM902A, and DAQM908A multiplexer modules.
Table below shows transducer types that are supported on each multiplexer module.
