(The key to good measurements!)
Figure 7: Probe Setup Window
All instrument settings, with the exception of “graph rate”, can be edited using the Probe
Parameters menu for the individual instrument. To access the Probe Parameters for a particular
instrument, click on the number box above the instruments measurement display box, or choose
Options, Probe
. There are six tabs in the Probe Parameter Window; General, Modes, Analog
Output, Calibration, Modbus, and Advanced. Each tab has a common area at the bottom which
allows a user to select which probe they are viewing or editing via the Change Probes buttons, or
either
Save
or
Apply
the probe settings.
Important Note:
The difference between
Save
and
Apply
is important.
Apply
should be used
for short-term changes or testing a change;
Save
should be done when the change is to be
maintained for future measurements. Applied changes are lost whenever the probes are reset,
TemperaSure is restarted, or power to the probe is lost.
Save:
Saving parameters stores values in the probes EEPROM (Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory), saved parameters will be the default parameters the
next time the probes are power cycled or reset.
