Definition
If you are using the thermocouple, the options are: type E, J, K, N, R, S
and T. After selecting your thermocouple type, you need to configure the
reference junction also. Typically, each thermocouple card uses one
reference junction. If the junction type is simulated, the defined
simulated junction temperature is used. If the junction type is real, you
need to close that channel from the scanner card before acquiring the
temperature. Also you must enter an offset voltage for the selected
reference junction.
How to set up thermocouple
You can set up the thermocouple configuration either through the front
panel operation or through the remote interface operation.
Front Panel Operation
Press CONFIG and then SHIFT + TEMP to go to the thermocouple
configuration menu. Use ◁ and ▷ to locate “TYPE” submenu, press
ENTER to select it. Then again use ◁ and ▷ to locate the right
thermocouple type for you, press ENTER on your selection.
To configure the reference junction, use the same step to go to the
thermocouple configuration submenu. Use ◁ and ▷ to locate
“RJUNCTION” submenu, and then press ENTER. The options are
“SIMULATED” and “REAL”. Selecting “SIMULATED” allows you to set a
specific value to be a default temperature. Selecting “REAL” allows you to
set an offset voltage. Use ◁ and ▷ to move through the digits and △ and
▽ to change the numbers to a desired value. Press ENTER to input a
specific value.
Remote Interface Operation
Use the following commands to set up the thermocouple configuration.
