User`s manual

• The channel list is of the form (@ccnn), (@ccnn,ccnn), or (@ccnn:ccnn), where
cc = card number and nn = channel number (105 is channel 05 of card number 1,
for example).
• To select autorange, specify AUTO (or DEF) for range or do not specify a value
for the parameter. In the autorange mode, the multimeter samples the input signal
before each measurement and selects the appropriate range.
• To specify a MIN or MAX resolution while autoranging, you must specify
CONF:RES AUTO or CONF:RES DEF (you cannot omit the range parameter).
This prevents the
MIN or MAX resolution from being interpreted as a range setting.
• The fastest aperture time available when autoranging is 100 µs. In order to specify an
aperture time of 10 µs, you must select a fixed range.

(take 4 readings per trigger).
INIT !Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state;

source is IMMediate by default.

:TEMPerature
CONFigure:TEMPerature <transducer>,<type> ,<channel_list>
selects the temperature function. All measurements are returned in degrees celsius.
The following transducers can be measurements using the multimeter:
Thermocouples
Thermistors (2-wire or 4-wire measurement)
RTDs (2-wire or 4-wire measurement)
Two-wire temperature measurements can only be made using the scanning
multimeter (a channel list is required).
