```
void setSensorType(TCouple.Type type)
            throws java.io.IOException,
                   DeviceException
```
    Sets the type of thermal sensor being used for this thermometer. If instrument has no ability to set the sensor type, then this method will have no effect.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - Sensor type
    
    Throws:
    
    DeviceException - Upon incompatibility with device
    
    java.io.IOException - Upon communications error
  - getSensorType
```
TCouple.Type getSensorType()
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           DeviceException
```
    Returns the type of thermal sensor being used for this thermometer. If instrument has no ability to set the sensor type, then this method will most likely return SensorType.UNKNOWN
    
    Returns:
    
    Sensor type
    
    Throws:
    
    DeviceException - Upon incompatibility with device
    
    java.io.IOException - Upon communications error
  - getConfigurationParameters
