Here is the checksum tool posted in the past converted in python.

Reviving an old thread:

now that we have this temperature measurement settings menu enabled: how do you set the 34401a for actual temperature measurements? Found myself a K type thermocouple, can set the tc type, units (kelvin, celsius etc)... so now how to actually measure temp?

Hydron:
To activate the measurement you need to set the "Temp func" to TC - note that a thermocouple needs a reference junction though, so it's a bit less useful than say a RTD, as bench DMMs typically aren't able to simulate this with an internal temperature measurement like most handhelds can. If you have a fixed reference junction e.g. in an ice bath, or by making the thermocouple to meter connections at a known temperature, then you can specify the temperature of that though.

Hm, not sure if I am completely in the clear here: Temp func lives in de G Menu right?

What I am wondering about: how to make the meter go to temp measurements, i.e. how do you make it display celsius or kelvin? Obviously there is no key for that on the frontpanel, but maybe there is a secret key combination?

Or do temp measurements only work over HPIB?

You can do this from front panel but it's slightly non-obvious.

Menu G 1. TEMP FUNC followed by selection of the probe type should take you into temperature mode (same as CONF:TEMP over SCPI).  You can select units from another of the G menus as well as parameters for the sensor.
