when the previous command did not do what it was meant to do.

Refer to the Error Codes table for more information on error code numbers.

FUNC?

Returns the current mode of the display. For example if the calibrator is set to RTD FUNC?
Would return:

LOCAL

Restores the calibrator to local operation if it was in remote mode. Also clears LOCKOUT if the
unit was in lockout mode.

MEAS

Sets the display to measure mode. The command is followed by the parameters TC for
thermocouple or RTD for RTD. For example:

MEAS RTD sets the display mode to RTD IN

OUT

Sets the output of the calibrator. This command may be used to output temperature, ohms
and TC millivolts. The calibrator is automatically set to source mode when OUT is entered.
A number and its unit must follow the command. See Table 7. (Parameter Units) for a list of
available units. For example:

OUT 10°C sets the calibrator to RTD or TC OUT mode and sets the output to 10°C.

OUT?

Returns the output of the calibrator. Using the above example, OUT? Would return:

1.000000E-02, °C

REMOTE

Puts the calibrator in remote mode. From the remote mode the user can still use the keypad
to get back to local unless the command LOCKOUT was entered before REMOTE. Than the
keypad is totally locked out, and the user has to send the LOCAL command to get back to
local operation.
