This attribute is only valid when dmm.func = "temperature". All other
configurations generate an error and return nil when queried.
Changing functions with dmm.func has no effect on this setting.
The factory default and dmm.reset function value is 5000 ohms.
To set thermistor type to 3000:
dmm.func = "temperature"
dmm.thermistor = 3000
Indicates the thermocouple type.
To read the thermocouple type:
value = dmm.thermocouple
value: Represents the present thermocouple type
To write the thermocouple type:
dmm. thermocouple = value
value: Represents the desired thermocouple type. For value, use one of the following:

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_J or 0

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_K or 1

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_T or 2

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_E or 3

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_R or 4

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_S or 5

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_B or 6

dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_N or 7
This attribute is only valid when dmm.func = "temperature". All other
configurations generate an error and return nil when queried.
Changing functions with dmm.func has no effect on this setting.
The factory default and dmm.reset function value is dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_K.
To set thermocouple type to J:
dmm.func = "temperature"
dmm.thermocouple = dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_J
