• To specify a MIN or MAX resolution while autoranging, you must specify
MEAS:RES? AUTO or MEAS:RES? DEF must be specified (you cannot omit the
range parameter). This prevents the
MIN or MAX resolution from being
interpreted as a range setting.
• The fastest aperture time available when autoranging is 100 µs. In order to specify an
aperture time of 10 µs, you must select a fixed range.
Example Making 2-Wire Ohms Measurements

:TEMPerature?
MEASure:TEMPerature? <transducer>,<type> [,<channel_list>]
selects the temperature function. All measurements are returned in Degrees Celsius.
The following transducers can be measured using the multimeter:
Thermocouples
Thermistors (2-wire or 4-wire measurement)
RTDs (2-wire or 4-wire measurement)
Two-wire temperature measurements can only be made using the scanning
multimeter (a channel list is required).

Comments • The HP E1344A, E1347A, E1353A, or E1476A multiplexer is required for
thermocouple measurements. Theses modules have built-in thermocouple
compensation circuitry on the terminal module.
• To measure the temperature of the reference thermistor on the HP E1347A, send:
MEAS:TEMP? THER,5000,(@cc93)
