TSENS_TYPE?
(Temperature Sensor Type query) Returns the temperature sensor type
thermocouple (TC) or Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) for temperature
measurements.
Responses:
TC
RTD
Example:
TSENS_TYPE? returns TC
Returns TC when the temperature sensor type is a thermocouple.

*TST?
IEEE-488
(Self Test command) Initiates self-test and returns a 0 for pass or a 1 for fail. If
any faults are detected, they are displayed on screen (Terminal mode) or are
logged into the fault queue where they can be read by the FAULT? query
(Computer mode).
Responses:
0
1
Example:
*TST? returns 1
Returns 1 when self test fails.
x
VAL?
IEEE-488
(Measurement Value command) Returns the last value of the resistance,
temperature, or pressure measurement. The second parameter returned is either the
units of the measurement or an indication that an error occurred.
Responses:
1. (Float) Measured resistance, temperature, or pressure
2. (Character) CEL, FAR, OHM, PSI, INH2O4C,
INH2O20C, CMH2O4C, CMH2O20C, BAR, MBAR, KPA,
INHG, MMHG, KG/CM2
OVER (value is over or under capability),
NONE (not in a measurement mode)
Example:
VAL? returns 0.000000E+00,NONE
Returns 0 and NONE when the Calibrator is not in a measurement mode.
