ThermocoupleType
Select thermocouple type
Description
When working with the session-based interface, use the ThermocoupleType
property to select the type of thermocouple you will use to make your measurements. Select
the type based on the temperature range and sensitivity you need, according to the NIST
Thermocouple Types
Definitions.
Values
You can set the ThermocoupleType
to:
'J'
'K'
'N'
'R'
'S'
'T'
'B'
'E'
By default the thermocouple type is 'Unknown'
.
Example
Specify Thermocouple Type
Create a session and add an analog input channel with 'Thermocouple'
measurement
type.
s = daq.createSession('ni'); ch = addAnalogInputChannel(s,'cDAQ1Mod6','ai1','Thermocouple')
ch = Data acquisition analog input thermocouple channel 'ai1' on device 'cDAQ1Mod6': Units: Celsius ThermocoupleType: Unknown Range: -210 to +1200 Celsius Name: '' ID: 'ai1' Device: [1x1 daq.ni.CompactDAQModule] MeasurementType: 'Thermocouple' ADCTimingMode: HighResolution
Set the ThermocoupleType
property
to 'J'
.
ch.Thermocoupletype = 'J'
ch = Data acquisition analog input thermocouple channel 'ai1' on device 'cDAQ1Mod6': Units: Celsius ThermocoupleType: J Range: -210 to +1200 Celsius Name: '' ID: 'ai1' Device: [1x1 daq.ni.CompactDAQModule] MeasurementType: 'Thermocouple' ADCTimingMode: HighResolution
