class Kt34400TemperatureFRTD

Kt34400TemperatureFRTD interface.

configure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400TemperatureFRTD, resolution: float) → None

Configures the meter for 4-wire RTD measurements.

Parameters:

resolution (float) – Measurement resolution. Select from Least (4.5 digits), Default (5.5 digits) and Best (6.5 digits). Higher resolutions (6.5 digits) result in slower measurement speeds.

Returns:

None

Remarks:
  • First, this method resets all temperature measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the meter for temperature measurements but does not initiate the measurement.
  • For temperature measurements, the instrument internally selects the range; you cannot select the range to be used.
  • The Resolution parameter is used only to determine the integration time; it does not specify the resolution of the temperature measurement.
  • To change temperature units, use Units property.
    • property low_power_enabled

    Enables or disables low-power 4-wire RTD measurements.

    Access:

    ReadWrite

    Type:

    bool

    measure(self: keysight_kt34400.keysight_kt34400.Kt34400TemperatureFRTD, resolution: float) → float

    Performs a single 4-wire RTD measurements.

    Parameters:

    resolution (float) – Measurement resolution. Select from Least (4.5 digits), Default (5.5 digits) and Best (6.5 digits). Higher resolutions (6.5 digits) result in slower measurement speeds.

    Returns:

    The measured value in the current TemperatureUnits

    Return type:

    float

    Remarks:
  • First, this method resets all temperature measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values. Then, it configures the meter for temperature measurements and immediately triggers a measurement. The results are sent directly to the instrument output buffer.
  • For temperature measurements, the instrument internally selects the range; you cannot select the range to be used.
  • The Resolution parameter is used only to determine the integration time; it does not specify the resolution of the temperature measurement.
  • To change temperature units, use Unit property.
  • If input value is greater than that can be measured on the selected range , "+9.9E+37" is returned.
    • property offset_compensation_enabled

    Enables or disables offset compensation for 4-wire RTD measurements.

    Access:

    ReadWrite

    Type:

    bool

    property resistance

    Gets or sets the nominal resistance (Ro) for 4-wire RTD measurements.

    Access:

    ReadWrite

    Type:

    float

    Remarks:
    The resistance of an RTD is nominal at 0 degC and is referred to as Ro.
