{TCouple|RTD|FRTD|THERmistor|DEF}[,(@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:TRANsducer:TYPE? [(@<ch_list>)]
Description Set or query the sensor type of the temperature measurements on the specified channels.

TCouple
<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  MC3164 and MC3264 does not support the 4-wire thermal resistance temperature
measurement function.
 For the 4-wire thermal resistance temperature measurement function, channel n is
paired with channel n+16 (MC3132 and MC3232, wherein the range of n is from 1 to
16) or n+10 (MC3324 and MC3120, wherein the range of n is from 1 to 10)
automatically. Channel n is used to connect the source terminal of the DMM and
channel n+16 or channel n+10 is used to connect the sense terminal of the DMM. The
paired channels cannot be configured.
 The instrument selects TCouple as the sensor type 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 current sensor type.
Return
Format
The query returns TC, RTD, FRTD or THER for each channel specified. Multiple return
values are separated by commas.
Example TEMP:TRAN:TYPE FRTD,(@101:103)
TEMP:TRAN:TYPE? (@101:103,205)
The query returns FRTD,FRTD,FRTD,TC.
