Appendix 6 User Definitions of Thermocouples and
RTDs
On the 2560A, you can define (user-define) thermoelectromotive force and resistance that simulate
those of thermocouples or RTDs and source thermoelectromotive force and resistance according to
the definitions.
Function
Thermoelectromotive Force of a Thermocouple
You can define a thermocouple’s thermoelectromotive force source for every temperature range using
polynomials. For details on the polynomial syntax, see “Definition Specifications” later in this section.

The 2560A calculates thermoelectromotive force Eu

[µV] at temperature t [°C] using the polynomial
and the following expression and outputs the resultant value. If the reference junction temperature is
not in any of the user-defined temperature ranges, the temperature is assumed to be 0.0°C for the
calculation (reference junction compensation).
