Usage
type = dmm.measure.transducer
dmm.measure.transducer = type
• Thermocouple: dmm.TRANS_THERMOCOUPLE

• 4-wire RTD:
Functions
dmm.FUNC_DIGITIZE_CURRENT
dmm.FUNC_DIGITIZE_VOLTAGE
Details
The transducer type determines the type of temperature measurement that is made. Each transducer
type has related settings that must also be set. For example, thermocouple measurements are only
made if the type is set is set to thermocouple. You also need to set the thermocouple type when
setting up a thermocouple. For a transducer type of four-wire RTD, you also set the RTD type.
Example
dmm.measure.func = dmm.FUNC_TEMPERATURE
dmm.measure.transducer = dmm.TRANS_THREERTD
dmm.measure.threertd = dmm.RTD_D100
Set the measure function to temperature.
Set the transducer type to 3-wire RTD.
Set the RTD type to D100.
