Interface Commands

Adds a new probe definition to the Probe Library. Before a probe can be assigned to a channel and tem-

perature measured, the probe must have its definition added to the Probe Library (see Section 8.7.3.57,

INP:PROB:IDEN , on page 85).
Parameter is the ID of the new probe definition. It can contain letters, numerals, hyphens, periods, for-

ward slashes, and underscores. It must be between one and 24 characters in length, inclusive.
If is different from all other IDs in the Probe Library and space is available in the Probe Library, a new

probe definition will be added and given the specified ID. The probe parameters will initially be set to default

values. The command INP:PROB:PAR should be used to set the parameters.
If matches the ID of a probe already in the Probe Library or the Probe Library is full, no new probe defi-

nition is added, and error -224, “Illegal parameter value” will be generated in the error queue.

8.7.3.54 INP:PROB:COUN?

Alternate parameter: MAX
Reads the number of probe definitions in the Probe Library.

8.7.3.55 INP:PROB:DEL

Example command: INP:PROB:DEL “PRT_A46002”
Password protection: Probe Protection
Deletes a probe definition from the Probe Library.
Parameter is the ID of the probe definition to delete. If does not match the ID of any probe in the

Probe Library, nothing is deleted, and error -224, “Illegal parameter value” is generated in the error queue.
If the deleted probe was assigned to a channel the channel’s probe setting is changed to undefined (see Section

8.7.3.57, INP:PROB:IDEN , on page 85).

8.7.3.56 INP:PROB:FIRS?

Example response: “PRT_A46002”
Reads the ID of the first probe in the Probe Library. It also resets the library index used by the

INP:PROB:NEXT? command.
If the Probe Library is empty the response is an empty string, “”.

8.7.3.57 INP:PROB:IDEN

Example command: INP1:PROB:IDEN “PRT_A46002”
Example command: INP2:PROB:IDEN NONE
Query form: INP:PROB:IDEN?
Assigns a probe definition to the channel.
Suffix specifies the channel number: 1 through 4 for the corresponding front channel input, 5 through 14

for channels of the first attached scanner, and 15 through 24 for channels of the second attached scanner.
Parameter must either be the ID of a probe definition in the Probe Library, or “NONE” (undefined). En-

closing quotations marks are optional. If does not match the ID of a probe definition in the Probe Library,

error -224,“Illegal parameter value” is generated in the error queue.
If a valid probe ID is assigned to the channel, the response to the query form is the ID of the probe enclosed in

quotation marks. If the assigned probe is undefined, the response is “NONE” without quotation marks.
The channel’s Calculation setting will automatically be set to resistance if it was temperature when the chan-

nel’s assigned probe is set to NONE.

8.7.3.58 INP:PROB:NEXT?

Example response: “A71040”
