Dmm.simreftemperature - Keithley 3700A Series Reference Manual

Section 11: TSP command reference
Once an error is detected, the command stops processing and no channels or channel patterns are
modified.
Example
dmm.setconfig("1001:3100",
"myDcv")
dmm.setconfig("slot5", "dcvolts")

dmm.simreftemperature

This attribute sets the simulated reference temperature of the thermocouple reference junction.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (RW) Yes
Usage
value = dmm.simreftemperature
dmm.simreftemperature = value
value
Details
This attribute applies to the temperature function when the transducer type is set to thermocouple and
the reference junction is set to simulated. It allows you to set the simulated reference temperature
value.
This attribute is only valid when dmm.func is set to "temperature". All other functions generate an
error and return nil when queried.
The simulated reference temperature is only used when the transducer type is thermocouple, as set
by dmm.transducer. For all other transducer types, the value is set but not used until the
transducer type is set for thermocouple.
The simulated reference temperature setting is saved with the dmm.func function setting, so if you
use another function, then return to "temperature" with the transducer type set to thermocouple,
the simulated reference temperature setting you set previously is retained.
