1.3 FOTS100 output readings

Once the fiber-optic sensor is connected, the FOTS100 is ready to measure

temperature. The display shows the temperature measurements with a refreshing rate of

three readings per second. The measurement readings are also available at the analog

output and at the RS-232 port. The refreshing rate of these outputs is equal to the

sampling rate of the conditioner, which is 50 measurements per second.
