Step 11 – Enter the number of samples per sensor per measurement.
This is the number of times the sensor fires during a single measurement interval.
Step 12 – Click the checkbox to enable staggered sampling, if desired.
When staggered sampling is enabled, a set number of sensors fire each rotation until all sensors
have been used. Without staggered sampling all of the sensors fire on a single rotation.

Contact Agents
Three standard contact agents are currently offered with the C-Therm TCi system: Water, Glycol,
and Wakefield 120 thermal grease. Contact agents have correction factors to prevent them from
negatively affecting measurements. More information on contact agents is given in the testing
chapter.
Step 1 – Open the Contact Agent table.
Step 2 – Click the Add button.
Step 3 – Enter the contact agent name.
Step 4 – Enter the correction factor equation A value.
The equation is developed by testing materials of known thermal conductivity with water and then
with the new contact agent. See the Testing chapter for more information on developing a
contact agent.
Step 5 – Enter the correction factor equation B value.
Step 6 – Click the Save button.

Notes
Notes can be attached to any other record in the C-Therm TCi software. They are accessible
through the Notes button on most records.
Step 1 - Open a record.
Notes can be attached to material, project, and test method records.
