Temperature Measurement Configuration
This section contains information to help you configure the meter for making
temperature measurements. To measure temperature, you will need a
temperature transducer. Transducer descriptions and specific comments about
their usage are given on page 288. The meter supports three general categories of
transducer:
– RTD (Resistive Temperature Device)
– THERM (Thermistor)
– T/C (Thermocouple)
The meter supports specific types of transducers in each category:
Once you set the measurement units, probe type, and transducer type, the setting
is stored in non-volatile memory. This makes the last probe type used the default
probe type.
Measurement Units
– The meter can report temperature in °C (Celsius), °F (Fahrenheit), or K
(Kelvins).
– The measurement units set are stored in non-volatile memory.
– Front Panel Operation: Set the units under the 2: UNITS command in the
TEMPerature menu.
– Remote operation: Set the units using the following command:
UNIT:TEMPerature {C|F|K}
