Temperature Measurement Configuration
This section contains information to help you configure the instrument
for making temperature measurements. For more information on the
types of temperature transducers, see "Temperature Measurements"
starting on page 345 in chapter 8.
The instrument supports direct measurement of thermocouples, RTD s,
and thermistors. The instrument supports the following specific types
of transducers in each category:
Thermocouples
Supported
B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T
R

= 0.00385 (DIN / IEC 751)

Measurement Units
The instrument can report temperature measurements in
C (Celsius), F (Fahrenheit), or K (Kelvins). You can mix
temperature units on different channels within the instrument
and on the same module.
The instrument selects Celsius when the probe type is changed and
after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command)
does not change the units setting.
Setting the Mx+B measurement label to C, F, or K has no effect on
the temperature measurement units currently selected.
Front-Panel Operation: First, select the temperature function on the
active channel. Then, select the temperature units.
