Sets the transducer to thermocouples
TEMP:TC:TYPE K, (@2:10)
Sets the thermocouples to type K
TEMP:TC:RJUN:RSEL EXT, (@2:10)
Sets the reference junction to external
TEMP:UNIT FAHR, (@2:10)
Sets the units to Fahrenheit
ROUT:SCAN:INT 10, (@2:10)
Sets the interval delay to 10 s
ROUT:SCAN:COUN:SCAN 10
Sets the scan count
TRAC:CLE
Clears the reading buffer
TRAC:POIN 100, "defbuffer1"
Sets the buffer size
ROUT:SCAN:CRE (@1:10)
Sets the scan list
INIT
Initiates the scan
Below are equivalent TSP commands to set up your 2001-TCSCAN for temperature measurements
