Temperature Measurement Commands
See “Temperature Measurement Configuration” on page 84 in Chapter 3.
– The meter stores the last settings used for temperature measurements in
non-volatile memory and uses these values as the default for future
measurements. You can, therefore, make temperature measurements without
having to set the transducer type or reference each time.
–A range setting is not meaningful for temperature measurements. The range
parameter is included in the commands to allow you to set the resolution. For
temperature measurements, set the range to 1. Other numbers can be entered
and are ignored. The range is reported as 1 in response to a query.

{TC | DEF},{B | E | J | K | N | R | S | T | DEF}[, 1, {<resolution> |
MIN | MAX | DEF}]
{THER | DEF},DEF[, 1, {<resolution> | MIN | MAX | DEF}]
{FRTD | DEF},{85 | 91 | DEF}[, 1, {<resolution> | MIN | MAX | DEF}]
These commands preset and configure the meter for temperature measurements
using the specified probe type and resolution. The reading is sent to the output
buffer. Set the measurement probe type in the first parameter, either TC
(thermocouple), THER (Thermistor), or FRTD (four-wire RTD). The DEF (default)
option sets the last probe type used. Set the thermocouple or RTD type in the
second parameter. Set to DEF for thermistors. The optional parameter, 1, is a
place holder to allow you to set the resolution.

{FRTD | DEF},{85 | 91 | DEF}[, 1, {<resolution> | MIN | MAX | DEF}]
These commands preset and configure the meter for temperature measurements
using the specified probe type and resolution. This command does not initiate the
measurement. Set the measurement probe type in the first parameter, either TC
(thermocouple), THER (Thermistor), or FRTD (four-wire RTD). The DEF (default)
option sets the last probe type used. Set the thermocouple type in the second
parameter. Set to DEF for thermistors. The optional parameter, 1, is a place holder
to allow you to set the resolution.
