PT385_200;

PT385_500;

PT385_1000;

PT392_100;

PTJIS_100;

Ni120;

Cu10; Cu50;

CUSTOM;

For example:

RTD_TYPE PT385_10 sets RTD type to Pt385-10

RTD_TYPE?

Returns the RTD type.

RTD_WIRE

Sets the number of wires used for connection in measuring RTDs. The calibrator measures
RTDs using 2-, 3-, and 4-wire connections. After the command, enter 2W for 2- wire, 3W for 3-
wire, and 4W for 4-wire. For example:

RTD_WIRE 4W sets the connection to 4-wire

RTD_WIRE?

Returns the number of wires used in the RTD connection.

TEMP_UNIT

Sets the temperature unit for sourcing and measuring RTD and TC. Add CEL after the
command for Celsius, FAR for Fahrenheit, or KEL for Kelvin. For example:

TEMP_UNIT CEL sets the temperature to be measured or sourced to Celsius.

TEMP_UNIT?

Returns the temperature unit that is currently used for measuring and sourcing RTD and TC.

TSENS_TYPE

Sets the temperature sensor type to thermocouple, or to RTD for temperature measurement.
After the command add TC for thermocouple, or RTD for RTDs. For example:

TSENS_TYPE TC sets the sensor type to thermocouple

TSENS_TYPE?

Returns the type of sensor that is currently set to measure temperature, either TC or RTD.

VAL?

Returns the value of any measurement taking place on the display. For example, if the display
is measuring 10°C, then VAL? will return:

1.000000E+01, 10°C
