3.7 Temperature Measurements
The M3500A supports thermocouples and resistance temperature
detector (RTD) types of probes. For thermocouples, M3500A supports 7
types: E, J, K, N, R, S and T. Please refer to
Table 3-1
for their
temperature ranges. Be sure that the temperature function is configured
for the right sensor type before making measurements (Refer to 4.1.8
for how to make the sensor configuration).
In general, RTDs have a better accuracy and long-term stability than
thermocouples. The default RTD type in M3500A is PT100 (Temperature
Range:
-200~850)
and the thermocouple is type K.
