3. Set voltage bound by pressing SHIFT+CONT buttons and then
pressing CONFIG. When ready, press ENTER. (Or skip this step to
use the default voltage bound.)
4. Observe and take readings on the display.

3.8 Temperature Measurements

M3510A supports thermocouples and resistance temperature detector
(RTD) types of probes. For thermocouples, M3510A supports 9 types: B,
C, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T. Please refer to Table 3-1 for their temperature
ranges. Be sure that the temperature function is configured for the right
sensor type before making measurements (Refer to 4.1.7 for how to
make the sensor configuration).
In general, RTDs have a better accuracy and long-term stability than
thermocouples. The default RTD type in M3510A/11A is PT100 and the
thermocouple is type K.
