[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:CHECk
Syntax [SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:CHECk <state>[,(@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TCouple:CHECk? [(@<ch_list>)]
Description Disable or enable the T/C check function (check whether the thermocouples are properly
connected) of the thermalcouple measurements on the specified channels.
Parameters
Name
Type
Range
Default
<state>
Bool
{OFF|0|ON|1}
OFF
<ch_list>
Channel
List
One or more channels (only for the
multiplexer channels), the rules are as
follows:
(@101): channel 01 on the module in Slot1;
(@101:103): channel 01 through 03 on the
module in Slot1;
(@101:103,301): channel 01 through 03 on
the module in Slot1 and channel 01 on the
module in Slot3.
If the parameter
is omitted, this
command will be
applied to the
whole scan list.
Explanation  When the function is enabled, the instrument measures the channel resistance (the
range is 20 kΩ) to check whether the thermalcouple is correctly connected
automatically before each measurement. The instrument prompts and displays “OPEN
T/C” if an open connection is detected (the channel resistance measured is greater
than 5kΩ).
 The instrument disables the T/C check function (check whether the thermocouples are
properly connected) after a Factory Reset (send the
*RST command). An Instrument
Preset (send the
SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (send the SYSTem:CPON
command) does not affect the status of the T/C check function.
Return
Format
The query returns 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON). Multiple return values are separated by commas.
Example
TEMP:TRAN:TC:CHEC ON,(@101:103)
TEMP:TRAN:TC:CHEC? (@101:103,205)
The query returns 1,1,1,0.
