Remote Operation
Example: :INST:THER:OFFS:VAL? could return +1.45C.
Set the Reference-junction Temperature Unit of Measure :UNIT:REFJunction {Unit of measure}
{Unit of measure} must be C, F, R, K, or SYSTEM. If SYSTEM is entered, reference-
junction unit of measure will be the present system unit of measure. When the reference-
junction temperature unit of measure is changed, the reference-junction temperature value
may change: e.g. if the value is 25 and the unit of measure is changed from C to F, the value
will change to 77. No change will occur when the unit of measure is changed from F to R or
from C to K.
Example: :UNIT:REFJ F sets the reference-junction temperature unit of measure to
Fahrenheit.
Query the Reference-junction Temperature Unit of Measure :UNIT:REFJunction?
Returns C, F, R, or K.
Example: :UNIT:REFJ? returns C.
Set the Reference-junction Temperature :OUTPut:REFJunction:VALue {Temperature}
{Temperature} must be a valid numeric value representing a temperature for the thermo-
couple type and reference-junction unit of measure currently in use. When the reference-
junction unit of measure is changed, the offset value may change, e.g. if the value is 4 and
the unit of measure is changed from C to F, the value will change to 39.2. No change will
occur when the unit of measure is changed from F to R or from C to K. Note that the
reference-junction temperature is only used when the output entry mode and output material
differ in nature (temperature and copper connections, or voltage and alloy connections).
Example: :OUTP:REFJ:VAL 77 sets the reference-junction-temperature value to 77.
Query the Reference-junction Value :OUTPut:REFJunction:VALue?
This will return the reference-junction temperature followed by its unit of measure as a
single character.
Example: :OUTP:REFJ:VAL? could return +77F.
Instrument Commands and Queries
Set the Instrument Mode :INSTrument:MODE {Mode}
{Mode} must be SOURCE or METER.
Example: :INST:MODE SOURCE sets the mode to source.
Query the Present Instrument Mode :INSTrument:MODE?
Returns SOURCE or METER.
Example: :INST:MODE? returns SOURCE.
