SPRT standard PRT with user-specified error
coefficients, only available for
measurement
USR_DEF<x> RTD with user-specified custom
coefficients, where x is the curve
number and ranges from 1 to 5, i.e.
USR_DEF2 for curve 2
Example: RTD_TYPE?
PTJIS_100
This example is an indication that the RTD sensor type is a
100-ohm RTD with curve a=0.3916 ohm/°C.
