[SENSe:]REFerence:TEMPerature
[SENSe:]REFerence:TEMPerature <degrees_c> stores a fixed reference junction
temperature in the Reference Temperature Register. Use when the thermocouple
reference junction is kept at a controlled temperature.
NOTE This reference temperature is used to compensate all subsequent thermocouple
measurements until the register is overwritten by another SENSE:REF:TEMP value
or by scanning a channel linked with the SENSE:REFERENCE command. If used,
SENS:REF:TEMP must be executed before scanning any thermocouple channels.

[SENSe:]STRain:EXCitation
[SENSe:]STRain:EXCitation <excite_v>,(@<ch_list>) specifies the excitation
voltage value to be used to convert strain bridge readings for the channels specified
by <ch_list>. This command does not control the output voltage of any source.
