Configure Thermocouple

IVI Compliance Package

IviDmm Configure Thermocouple

IviDmmThermocouple Capability Group [TC]

This VI configures the thermocouple type and the reference junction type of the thermocouple for DMMs that take temperature measurements using a thermocouple transducer type.

This VI affects the behavior of the instrument only if the IviDmm Transducer Type [TMP] property is set to IVIDMM_VAL_THERMOCOUPLE.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDmm Initialize or IviDmm Initialize With Options VI.
thermocouple type (B) Pass the type of thermocouple used to measure the temperature. The driver uses this value to set the IviDmm Thermocouple Type [TC] property.

Defined Values:

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_B

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_C

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_D

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_E

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_J

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_K

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_N

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_R

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_S

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_T

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_U

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_V

Default Value: IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_B

ref junc type (Internal) Pass the type of reference junction to be used in the reference junction compensation of a thermocouple measurement. The driver uses this value to set the IviDmm Reference Junction Type [TC] property.

Defined Values:

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_REF_JUNC_INTERNAL—The DMM uses an internal reference junction type.

IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_REF_JUNC_FIXED—The DMM uses a fixed value for the reference junction. Use the IviDmm Configure Fixed Ref Junction [TC] VI to specify the fixed reference junction value.

Default Value: IVIDMM_VAL_TEMP_REF_JUNC_INTERNAL

error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDmm Initialize or IviDmm Initialize With Options VI.
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
