RTD_TYPE
Sets the RTD type. The following is a list of RTD types they way they should be entered after
the command:
PT385_10; PT385_50;
PT392_100; PTJIS_100;
OHMS; CUSTOM;
For example:
RTD_TYPE PT385_10 sets RTD type to Pt385-10
RTD_TYPE?
Returns the RTD type.
RTD_WIRE
Sets the number of wires used for connection in measuring RTDs. The calibrator measures
RTDs using 2-, 3-, and 4-wire connections. After the command, enter 2W for 2- wire, 3W for 3-
wire, and 4W for 4-wire. For example:
RTD_WIRE 4W sets the connection to 4-wire
RTD_WIRE?
Returns the number of wires used in the RTD connection.
SIM
Sets the output for current simulation. This command also switches the calibrator into mA
simulation mode. A number and a unit must be entered after the command. For example:
SIM 5 MA sets the current simulation at 5 mA
SIM?
Returns the output of the current simulation. With the example above, the output would be:
5.000000E-03, A
TC_TYPE
Sets the type of the thermocouple. All available types are shown in the TC Types table in
Section 8. (Specifications). For example:
TC_TYPE B sets thermocouple type to B
TC_TYPE?
Returns the type of thermocouple the calibrator is set to.
TEMP_UNIT
Sets the temperature unit for sourcing and measuring RTD and TC. Add CEL after the command
for Celsius, and FAR for Fahrenheit. For example:
TEMP_UNIT CEL sets the temperature to be measured or sourced to Celsius.
TEMP_UNIT?
Returns the temperature unit that is currently used for measuring and sourcing RTD and TC.
TRIG
Starts and stops the pulse train when the calibrator is in pulse mode. The parameters of the
pulse train are set by commands PULSE_CNT, and FREQ_LEVEL. Entering TRIG initializes the
train. Entering the command while the pulse train is running stops it.
PT385_100; PT385_200;
Ni120; Cu10; Cu50;
PT385_500; PT385_1000;
Cu100; YSI_400;
