Explanation
Output Terminal Positions
The following figure shows the positions of thermoelectromotive force and resistance output terminals
that simulate temperature sensors (thermocouples and RTDs).

Selecting the Temperature Sensor
Select the thermocouple and RTD types. If you change the type when the output is on, the output turns
off.
Thermocouple
Select from the following.
R, S, B, J, T, E, K, N, C, A, TC USER*
* If you select TC USER, the thermoelectromotive force of a user-defined thermocouple can be
sourced. For details how to write user-defined data to the 2560A, see section 6.5. For the data
definition specifications, see appendix 6.
RTD
Select from the following.
Pt100, RTD USER*
* If you select RTD USER, the resistance of a user-defined RTD can be sourced. For details how
to write user-defined data to the 2560A, see section 6.5. For the data definition specifications,
see appendix 6.
