SIM

Sets the output for current simulation. This command also switches the calibrator into mA
simulation mode. A number and a unit must be entered after the command. For example:

SIM 5 MA sets the current simulation at 5 mA

SIM?

Returns the output of the current simulation. With the example above, the output would be:

5.000000E-03, A

TC_TYPE

Sets the type of the thermocouple. All available types are shown in the TC Types table in
Section 8. (Specifications). For example:

TC_TYPE B sets thermocouple type to B

TC_TYPE?

Returns the type of thermocouple the calibrator is set to.

TEMP_UNIT

Sets the temperature unit for sourcing and measuring RTD and TC. Add CEL after the
command for Celsius, and FAR for Fahrenheit. 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.

TRIG

Starts and stops the pulse train when the calibrator is in pulse mode. The parameters of the
pulse train are set by commands PULSE_CNT, and FREQ_LEVEL. Entering TRIG initializes
the train. Entering the command while the pulse train is running stops it.

TRIG?

Returns TRIGGERED if the pulse train is running, and returns UNTRIGGERED when the pulse
train is not running. Returns NONE when the calibrator is not in pulse mode.

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
