Hi,
I use an Agilent 34970A for temperature measurement. A PT1000 is connected to channel 108 and as far as I control the 34970A at the front plate everything works fine.
In my software I use the latest IVI drivers but when I set channel 108 for temperature measurement with a PT1000 and perform a measurement on this channel the 34970A switches back to the default settings (PT100) and shows me "OVLD" in the display.
I also get no temperature value from the device/ from the IVI driver.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Example:
The problem is with the RTDMeasure command. This command wipes out all the previous settings (including Ro) and makes the measurement with the default settings. Instead, you should use the Read command or an Initiate and Fetch command. This will make the measurement with all the previously defined settings, including RTD Ro, intact. You can refer to the Agilent 34970A IVI Drivers Help for more information on these commands.
Thanks,
Steve
