Changing the Set Point Step Size
In many applications, user will manually adjust the instrument between a few set
points, such as thermal testing in a production environment. In these
applications the high resolution of the temperature set point can actually be a
hindrance, as precisely adjusting between 25.00°C and 50.00°C, for example,
will entail over- and under-shoots as the operator changes from one set point to
the other.
Using the
Tset Step
setting in the menu, you can select a step size of 0.01, 0.05,
0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, or 10°C. In the above application, a step size of 5°C would allow for
rapid and easy adjustment between the two temperatures.
Note that the step will adjust based on the current set point, so, for example, if
the set point was 25.31°C and the step size was 5°C, the instrument would
adjust to 30.31°C, 35.31°C, etc. you may want to adjust the set point to a good
starting point before increasing the step size.
Note that changing the step size will not change the resolution of the displayed
value for either the set point or the actual temperature.
