3-24 2110-901-01 Rev. C/August 2013
Remote operation
Commands that use the <n> parameter can use the MINimum and MAXimum name parameters. MIN
selects the minimum value and MAX selects the maximum value.
Use the following commands to configure temperature measurements:
UNIT <name> Set temperature units
<name> = Cel Celsius
= Far Fahrenheit
= K Kelvin
TCOuple:TYPE <name> Select the thermocouple type
<name> = B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, or T
TCOuple:RJUNction:RSELect <name> Select the reference junction
<name> = REAL Real reference junction
= SIMulated Simulated reference junction
TCOuple:RJUNction:SIMulated <n> Set simulated reference temperature
<n> = -100 to 100 Celsius
Use any of the following commands to measure temperature and acquire the reading:
MEASure:TCouple?
READ?
INIT followed by FETCH?
Capacitance measurements
The measurement ranges for capacitance measurements are 1 nF, 10 nF, 100 nF, 1 µF, 10 µF,
100 µF, 1 mF, and 10 mF.
Front-panel operation
Perform the following steps to measure capacitance:
1. Connect the capacitance to the Model 2110, as shown below.
2. Press the SHIFT and FREQ (
) keys.
3. Select a measurement range (auto or manual):
• Autorange is the power-on default. If manual ranging is selected (MAN indicator on), press SHIFT and
ESC (AUTO) to select autorange.
• For manual ranging, press the RANGE ▲ and ▼ keys to select a measurement range.
4. Observe the reading on the display.
