[SENSe:]FUNCtion:CUSTom:TCouple < type >,[< range >,](@< ch_list >)
channels with the custom Engineering Unit Conversion table loaded with the
DIAG:CUST:PIECE command. The table is assumed to be for a thermocouple and
the <type> parameter will specify the built-in compensation voltage table to be used
for reference junction temperature compensation. SENS:FUNC:CUST:TC allows
you to use an EU table that is custom matched to thermocouple wire you have
characterized. Contact your Hewlett-Packard System Engineer for more information
on Custom Engineering Unit Conversion for your application.

The <range> parameter: The HP E1415 has five ranges: .0625VDC, .25VDC,
1VDC, 4VDC, and 16VDC. To select a range, simply specify the range value
(for example, 4 selects the 4VDC range). If you specify a value larger than
one of the first four ranges, the HP E1415 selects the next higher range (for
example, 4.1 selects the 16VDC range). Specifying a value larger than 16
generates an error. Specifying 0 selects the lowest range (.0625VDC).
Specifying AUTO selects auto range. The default range (no range parameter
specified) is auto range.
•
If you are using amplifier SCPs, you should set them first and keep their
settings in mind when specifying a range setting. For instance, if your expected
signal voltage is to be approximately .1VDC and the amplifier SCP for that
channel has a gain of 8, you must set <range> no lower than 1VDC or an input
out-of-range condition will exist.
•
The sub_type EEXTended applies to E type thermocouples at 800°C and
above.
•
The *CAL? command calibrates temperature channels based on Sense
Amplifier SCP setup at the time of execution. If SCP settings are changed,
those channels are no longer calibrated. *CAL? must be executed again.
