8.2.1.43 ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:RATE:ENABle <bool>
Sets the state of the temperature rate alarm enable for the specified channel.
Example: ALAR:TEMP1:RATE:ENAB 1
The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The <bool> pa
-
rameter turns the temperature rate alarm on (1 or ON) or off (0 or OFF). This
command may be password protected (see Section 8.2.10, Password
Commands).
8.2.1.44 ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:RATE:LIMit? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returns the temperature rate alarm limit for the specified channel in degrees (C
or F) per hour.
Example: ALAR:TEMP1:RATE:LIM?
Response: 5
The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The value re
-
turned is always in the current temperature units (C or F). Specifying the MIN,
MAX, or DEF parameter returns the minimum, maximum, or default value
respectively.
8.2.1.45 ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:RATE:LIMit <float>|MIN|MAX|DEF
Sets the temperature rate alarm limit for the specified channel in degrees (C or
F) per hour.
Example: ALAR:TEMP1:RATE:LIM 10.00
The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The <float> pa-
rameter specifies the value for the temperature rate alarm limit. The <float>
value is always in the current temperature units (C or F). Specifying MIN,
MAX, or DEF parameter sets the temperature rate alarm limit to the minimum,
maximum, or default value respectively. This command may be password pro
-
tected (see Section 8.2.10, Password Commands).
8.2.1.46 ALARm:TEMPurature<chn>:SENSor?
Indicates whether a temperature sensor alarm event has occurred for the speci
-
fied channel.
Example: ALAR:TEMP1:SENS?
Response: 0
The TEMPerature suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). A value of 1 is
returned if a temperature sensor alarm event has occurred on the specified
channel. A value of 0 is returned if a temperature sensor alarm event has not
occurred on the specified channel.
