Syntax
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:CHECk <state>[,(@<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.
Used With:
- 34901A 20 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
- 34902A 16 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
- 34908A 40 Channel Single-Ended Multiplexer Module
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value <state> Boolean {OFF|0|ON|1} This is a required parameter.
The factory default is OFF.<ch_list> Channel List One or more channels, as shown:
(@310) - channel 10 on the module in slot 300.
(@305:310) - channels 05 through 10 on the module in slot 300.
(@202:207,209,302:308) - channels 02 through 07 and 09 on the module in slot 200 and channels 02 through 08 on the module in slot 300.
If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the currently defined scan list.
Remarks
- 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 returns 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled) to indicate the status of each thermocouple check for the channel list.
Examples
The following command enables the thermocouple check feature for six channels.
TEMP:TRAN:TCouple:CHEC ON,(@103,104,205-208)
The following query returns the status of the thermocouple check feature for each of the following channels.
TEMP:TRAN:TCouple:CHEC? (@103,105,203-205,301)
Typical Response: 1,0,0,0,1,0
