Usage
state = dmm.offsetcompensation
dmm.offsetcompensation = state
state
The offset compensation setting:
▪ Enable: dmm.ON or 1
▪ Disable: dmm.OFF or 0
Details
The command applies when dmm.func is set to "fourwireohms", "commonsideohms" or
"temperature".
When dmm.func = "temperature", this attribute applies only when the transducer type is 3- or 4-
wire RTD. Set this command as you would for 4-wire ohm measurements.
This command is automatically set to dmm.ON when dmm.drycircuit is set to dmm.ON and
dmm.func = "fourwireohms" or "commonsideohms".
The offset compensation setting is saved with the dmm.func function setting, so if you use another
function, then return to "fourwireohms", "commonsideohms" or "temperature", the offset
compensation setting you set previously is retained.
If you query this attribute and the function is not "fourwireohms", "commonsideohms", or
"temperature", nil is returned.
Example 1
dmm.func = "fourwireohms"
dmm.offsetcompensation = dmm.ON
Enable offset compensation for 4-wire ohms.
Example 2
dmm.func = "temperature"
dmm.transducer = dmm.TEMP_THREERTD
dmm.offsetcompensation = dmm.OFF
Disable offset compensation for 3-wire RTD
temperature measurements.
