The following code shows how to set up an external reference junction using TSP commands.
reset()
dmm.func = dmm.TEMPERATURE
dmm.transducer = dmm.TEMP_THERMOCOUPLE
dmm.thermocouple = dmm.THERMOCOUPLE_K
dmm.opendetector = dmm.ON
dmm.units = dmm.UNITS_CELSIUS
dmm.refjunction = dmm.REF_JUNCTION_EXTERNAL
dmm.configure.set("my_temp_k")
--Specify the channel the thermocouple is on.
dmm.setconfig(slot_num.."004", "my_temp_k")

dmm.fourrtd = dmm.RTD_PT100
dmm.configure.set("my_temp")
--Specify the channel the four-wire RTD is on.

Open lead detection
The Series 3700A has four methods to detect open lead conditions:
• I
SOUR
open voltage
• V
MEAS
open voltage
• Calculated measurement
• dmm.opendetector
The following figures show open lead detection schematics for various measurements.
