2) Save and provide a name for the DMM configuration for the scanning purposes (here, TEMP
is used).
3) Setup the scanlist
a. Add a scan step with a sweep phase that scans CH1_1 using the previously saved
configuration (e.g. CH1_1=
TEMP
)
b. The setup phase can be ignored for this example.
4) Initiate & Read
a. Initiate the scan
b. Read back the data
Use Thermistor as a Reference Junction
1) Set the DMM to measure temperature using the thermistor.
a. Set the DMM function to
Temperature .
b. Set the transducer type to
Thermistor
.
c. Set the thermistor resistance to 10000 (the thermistor is 10 kΩ).
d. Set the isReferenceJunction parameter to True .
2) Save and provide a name for the DMM configuration for the scanning purposes.
3) Set the DMM to measure temperature using a Type K thermocouple (any thermocouple type
can be selected here, but Type K below).
a. Set the DMM function to
Temperature .
b. Set the transducer type to Thermocouple .
c. Set the thermocouple type to
Type K
.
d. Set the reference type to External .
e. Set the isReferenceJunction parameter to False .
4) Save and provide a name for the DMM configuration for the scanning purposes.
5) Setup the scanlist
a. Add a scan step with a sweep phase that scans CH1_1 using the first saved configuration.
(e.g. CH1_1= RefJunction ).
b. Add another scan step with a sweep phase that scans another channel (e.g.
CH1_2=
TEMP
).
c. The setup phase can be ignored for this example.
6) Initiate & Read
a. Initiate the scan
b. Read back the data
