5.5-2 Calibrator Commands

CAL_START

Puts the calibrator in calibration mode. The main display will say CALIBRATION MODE and a
calibration menu will be displayed on the terminal.

CJC_STATE

Turns Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) on or off, when the calibrator is in thermocouple
(TC) mode. The command is used by adding ON or OFF after it.

For example:

CJC_ STATE OFF

turns CJC off.

CJC_STATE?

Tells whether the Cold Junction Compensation in thermocouple mode is turned on or turned
off. The calibrator returns OFF if CJC is off, and ON if CJC is on.

CPRT_COEFA

This command is used for entering a custom RTD into the calibrator. The numeric value
entered after the command will be set as the first coefficient of the polynomial used by the
custom RTD.

For example:

CPRT_COEFA 3.908E-03

enters 3.908e-3 as coefficient A.

CPRT_COEFA?

Returns the number which was entered for the first coefficient of the polynomial used in the
custom RTD. Using the example above CPRT_COEFA? Would return:

3.908000E-03

CPRT_COEFB

This command is used for entering a custom RTD into the calibrator. The numeric value
entered after the command will be set as the second coefficient of the polynomial used by the
custom RTD.

For example:

CPRT_COEFB -5.8019E-07 enters -5.8019e-7 as coefficient B.

CPRT_COEFB?

Returns the number, which was entered for the first coefficient of the polynomial used in the
custom RTD. Using the example above, CPRT_COEFB? Would return:

-5.801900E-07
