dmm.transducer

This attribute contains the transducer type.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (RW) Yes
Usage
value = dmm.transducer
dmm.transducer = value
value
Details
This attribute is only valid when dmm.func is set to "temperature". All other functions generate an
error and return nil when queried.
The setting of this attribute affects which other temperature-supported attributes get used. There are
various attributes that are only applicable when the transducer type is a certain type. Although the
transducer type needs to match for the attribute setting to be used, the transducer type does not
need to match to change the setting or read the setting. For example, the transducer type does not
need to be set to dmm.TEMP_FOURRTD to change the dmm.fourrtd attribute setting.
The transducer value is saved with the dmm.func function setting, so if you use another function,
then return to "temperature", the transducer value you set previously is retained.
Example
dmm.func = "temperature"
dmm.transducer = dmm.TEMP_THERMISTOR
