Syntax

[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:CHECk <mode> [, (@<ch_list>)]

[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:CHECk? [(@<ch_list>)]

Description

This command disables or enables the thermocouple check feature to verify that your thermocouples are properly connected for measurements. If you enable this feature, the instrument measures the channel resistance after each thermocouple measurement to ensure a proper connection. If an open connection is detected (greater than 5 kΩ on the 10 kΩ range), the instrument reports an overload condition for that channel's temperature reading. If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list.

Used With:

• 34921A Armature Multiplexer (with optional 34921T Terminal Block)

• 34922A Armature Multiplexer

• 34923A Reed Multiplexer (differential mode only)

• 34924A Reed Multiplexer

Parameters

Remarks

• If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, the configuration applies to the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list (any existing scan list is not redefined). An error is generated if the internal DMM is not installed or is disabled.

• The instrument disables the thermocouple check feature after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.

Return Format

The query command returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON) for each channel specified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.

Examples

The following command enables the thermocouple check feature on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.

TEMP:TRAN:TC:CHECK ON,(@1003,1013)

The following query returns the thermocouple check settings on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.

TEMP:TRAN:TC:CHECK? (@1003,1013)

Typical Response:  1,1
