Output Value Unit
You can select the output value unit of the output display from the following. Use the SETUP menu
to select it.
• ° for both thermocouple and RTD
• mV for thermocouple and Ω for RTD
User Definition
You can define (user-define) any thermoelectromotive force and resistance that simulate those of
thermocouples or RTDs and then source thermoelectromotive force and resistance according to the
definitions. User-defined data is created by specifying coefficients of polynomials for each temperature
range. The data that you create are written to the 2560A in the following manner.
• Write the user-defined data saved in a file to the 2560A using the USB mass storage feature.
• Transmit the user-defined data for each temperature range using communication commands. The
transmitted data is written to the 2560A.
You can assign a type character to distinguish a user definition from other user definitions. The type
character is displayed as the second character on the dot matrix LEDs for displaying the unit when a
user-defined is selected.
For the user-defined data syntax and setup procedure, see appendix 6.
