Details
The transducer type determines the type of temperature measurement that is made. Each transducer
type has related settings that must also be set. For example, thermocouple measurements are only
made if the type is set is set to thermocouple. You also need to set the thermocouple type when
setting up a thermocouple. For a transducer type of four-wire RTD, you also set the RTD type.
Example
:FUNC "TEMP"
:TEMP:TRANsducer FRTD
:TEMP:RTD:FOUR PT3916
Set the measure function to temperature.
Set the transducer type to 4-wire RTD.
Set the RTD type to PT3916 for 4-wire RTDs.
