4.1.8
Sensor Selection for Temperature Measurements
The multimeter supports both thermocouple and RTD. You need to
configure the multimeter for the right sensor type, units and transducer
before conducting temperature measurements.
RTD
Definition
If the RTD is used, you have to confirm the RTD settings (incl. sensor,
units and transducer) first throught the front penal operations or the
remote control operation. For the sensor options, they are: PT100, D100,
F100, PT385, PT3916, user-defined RTD, NTCT and SPRTD. For the unit
options, they are: °C, °F and K. For the transducer options, they are: 2W
RTD and 4W RTD.
If you need to change the factors that are used to calculate the
temperature in RTD, choose user-defined RTD in which you are able to
change any factors as you wish. The default factors used are listed in
Table 4-3:

NTCT 0.003850 0.10863 1.49990 100Ω
