Sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their
for temperature meas-
urements. Also specifies the transducer and the measurement resolution.

Default: FRTD.

>: 85 (only possible value for RTD/FRTD), 5000 (only possible
value for THERmistor/FTHermistor), or E, J, K, N, R, T (TCouple).

The default is equivalent to 10 PLC.
Configure a 4-wire RTD measurement. Then make a measurement using an external trigger with positive
slope (rising edge) and read the measurement:
CONF:TEMP FRTD,85
TRIG:SOUR EXT;SLOP POS

Thermocouple measurements (TC) apply only to the 34465A and 34470A.
l
For temperature measurements, the instrument internally selects the range; you cannot select the
range to be used.
l
The <
resolution
>parameter only determines the integration time; it does not specify the resolution of
the temperature measurement. This parameter is optional; however, if you specify <
resolution
>, you
must also specify "1" as the implied range parameter. For example:
CONF:TEMP
RTD,85,1,0.000001
selects the 10 PLC integration time on the 34461A.

For RTD and thermistor measurements, the instrument autoranges to the correct range for the trans-
ducer resistance measurement. For thermocouple measurements, the 100 mV range is selected.
l
For thermocouple measurements, the internal reference is selected. See

If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the specified manual range, the instrument dis-
plays the word

on front panel and returns "9.9E37" from the remote interface.
