923 milliK manual - issue: 1.10
Selects the channel for the next measurement. The channels on the front panel are numbered
1 and 2. The 4-20mA input on the rear panel is numbered 3. The channel is not actually
connected to the measurement system until a measurement is started using with either the
INITiate or READ? commands.
Example: to select channel 2 for the next measurement, use:
SENS:CHAN 2
8.6.9 Command SENSe:CHANnel?
Format: SENSe:CHANnel?
Reports the channel selected for the next measurement. The channels on the front panel are
numbered 1 and 2. The 4-20mA input on the rear panel is numbered 3.
Example: a milliK set to measure channel 1 on the next measurement will respond to
SENS:CHAN? with: “1”.
8.6.10
Command SENSe[:RESistance]:RANGe[:UPPer]
Format: SENSe[:RESistance]:RANGe[:UPPer]
< range>
Sets the
<range>
for the next resistance measurement. The 3 resistance ranges available with
the milliK are:
resistance range = 0 - 115
Ω
resistance range = 0 - 460
Ω
resistance range = 0 - 500k
Ω
The resistance range specified should be the highest resistance expected for the thermometer.
Example: to set the milliK to measure a PRT that has a resistance of 390
Ω
at its highest
operating temperature, use:
SENS:RANG 390
8.6.11
Command SENSe[:RESistance:]RANGe[:UPPer]?
Format: SENSe[:RESistance]:RANGe[:UPPer]?
Reports the range for the next resistance measurement.
Example: a milliK that has had its resistance range set to 390
Ω
using the command shown in
section 8.6.10 would respond to the command:
SENS:RANG?
with: “460” since this is the
most sensitive range that can accommodate the requested range.
