Syntax

[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:RJUNction {<temperature>|MIN|MAX}[,(@<ch_list>)]

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

Description

This command sets the fixed reference junction temperature in degrees Celsius for thermocouple measurements on the specified channels.

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

<temperature> Numeric A number representing the temperature in degrees Celsius, from -20 to +80. This is a required parameter.
The factory default value is 0.

<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.

Name	Type	Range of Values	Default Value
<temperature>	Numeric	A number representing the temperature in degrees Celsius, from -20 to +80.	This is a required parameter. The factory default value is 0.
<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

For this command, you must always specify the temperature in degrees Celsius regardless of the temperature units currently selected (see UNIT:TEMPerature command).
The instrument sets the thermocouple junction to 0 °C 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 the fixed reference junction temperature in degrees Celsius in the form +1.12345678E+01.

Examples

The following command sets the fixed junction temperature in degrees Celsius for thermocouple measurements on channels 01 through 03 in slot 100.

TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:RJUNction 27.3 (@301:303)

The following query returns the fixed junction temperature in degrees Celsius on the specified channels.

TEMP:TRAN:TC:RJUN? (@301:303)

Typical Response: 2.73000000E+01,2.73000000E+01,2.73000000E+01
