[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:THERmistor:TYPE

Syntax

[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:THERmistor:TYPE <type> [, (@<ch_list>)]

[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:THERmistor:TYPE? [(@<ch_list>)]

Description

This command selects the thermistor type for temperature measurements on the specified channels. 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

  • 34922A Armature Multiplexer

  • 34923A Reed Multiplexer

  • 34924A Reed Multiplexer

Parameters

Name

Type

Range of Values

Default Value

<type>

Discrete

{2252|5000|10000}

5000

<ch_list>

Numeric

One or more channels in the form (@sccc).

If <ch_list> is omitted, this command applies to the internal DMM.

Remarks

  • The instrument supports 2.2 kΩ (YSI 44004 Series), 5 kΩ (YSI 44007 Series), and 10 kΩ (YSI 44006 Series) thermistors.

  • 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 sets the thermistor type to "5000" 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 "+2252", "+5000", or "+10000" for each channel specified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.

Examples

The following command selects 10 kΩ thermistors on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.

TEMP:TRAN:THER:TYPE 10000,(@1003,1013)

The following query returns the thermistor type selections on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.

TEMP:TRAN:THER:TYPE? (@1003,1013)

Typical Response:  +10000,+10000
