Used Used Byte 8:
0x00 – RCAL Disconnected
0x01 – RCAL Connected
This is a Strain Gage only command which connects / disconnects the remote calibration resistor into the
bridge circuit. This command is not valid for the strain gage cards with personality module major version
of 1. In ordinary operation the remote calibration resistor is disabled.

Parameters
0x0007 0x06 0x0010
Used Used Byte 8:
0x00 – No Compensation
0x01 – Type J
0x02 – Type K
0x03 – Type T
0x04 – Type R

0x08 – Type E
Also Returned for Queries
Byte 9: (returned for queries)
1 – thermocouple setting
complete
0- thermocouple setting in
progress
The thermocouple type setting is used to determine the correct coefficients to use during cold junction
compensation. The compensation point is determined by a temperature sensor on the panel of the card. If
no type is selected the default is set to No Compensation (0x00)
Note that byte 9 is only valid for queries. When the thermocouple type is set it takes up to two seconds
for the new setting to be processed by system. This field is meant to be used as a status byte indicating
when the processing is complete. It’s set to 0 when the new thermocouple type is still being processed;
it’s set to 1 when the new thermocouple type is ready.
Programming Note: It is recommended that after the thermocouple type is set you either 1) wait 3
seconds or 2) loop and query the setting until byte 9 indicates complete.
