R 
Reset channel after reading 
Valid for 
C
, 
HSC
, 
ST
 and 
CV
 channel types, 
which are reset to 0 after returning their 
current value. 
Also valid for digital output channel types 
(DSO, DNO, DBO) which invert the state of 
each bit after returning its value. 
Internal Shunt 
(DT80/ 
81 Series 
1 only) 
NSHUNT 
Disconnect internal 100R shunt 
between # terminal and AGND 
Allows # terminal to be used for shared-input 
voltage measurements 
Delay 
PT

RELAY 
channel types. Forces a precise (+/- 1ms) 
delay time even for long delays.

Data 
Manipulation 
DF 
Difference 
Δx 
Returns the difference (xUnits) between the 
latest reading and the previous reading
DT 
Time difference 
Δt 
Time difference (seconds) between the latest 
reading and the previous reading 
RC 
Rate of change 
Δx / Δt 
Rate of change (xUnits per second) based on 
latest and previous readings and their 
respective times 
RS 
Reading / time difference 
x / Δt 
Rate of change (xUnits per second). Useful 
when the sensor reading is already a 
difference (e.g. resetting counters) 
IB 
"Integrate" 
( x – Δx / 2 ) Δt 
"Integration" with respect to time (xUnits . 
seconds) between the latest and the previous 
readings (area under curve) 
Digital 
Manipulation 
TRR 
Time from rising edge to rising 
edge 
Normally used for digital channels. 
If used on analog channels then channel 
factor is interpreted as a threshold value. 
TRF 
Time from rising edge to falling 
edge 
TFR 
Time from falling edge to rising 
edge 
TFF 
Time from falling edge to falling 
edge 
TOR 
Time of rising edge 
TOF 
Time of falling edge 
Reference 
Channel 
TR 
Use this channel's value as 
thermocouple reference junction 
temperature 
Any non-thermocouple temperature sensor 
measuring isothermal block temperature.If 
already compensated use 11SV(TR) as 
reference channel (11SV always returns 0.0). 
TR channel temperature is used for all 
subsequent thermocouple measurements in 
this schedule 
TZ 
Use this channel's value to 
correct the DT80's electrical 
zero 
This zero would be measured at the 
isothermal block. TZ channel zero is used for 
all subsequent thermocouple measurements 
in this schedule 
BR 
Use this channel's value as 
bridge excitation voltage 
BR channel voltage used for all subsequent 
BGV
 measurements in this schedule
