COMMAND REFERENCE GUIDE
Original Instructions
The signals for a temperature sensor are:
NOTE: The signals that are available depend on the type of sensor being addressed. If
a signal is unavailable, the message INVALID is returned.
Example of configuring a temperature sensor
The following command configures a temperature sensor:
SET:DEV:MB0 :TEMP:TYPE:PTC:EXCT:TYPE:UNIP:MAG:10uA:CALB:RP5:DAT
If this command is successfully completed, the following message is returned:
STAT:SET:DEV:MB0
:TEMP:TYPE:PTC:EXCT:TYPE:UNIP:MAG:10uA:CALB:RP5:DAT
If the excitation type is not supported, the following message is returned:
STAT:SET:DEV:MB0 :TEMP:TYPE:PTC:EXCT:TYPE:INVALID:MAG:INVALID:
CALB:RP5:DAT
NOTE: All the new settings that are valid are set. All the new settings that are invalid
are not changed.
