Using a Custom Probe
4. Using a Custom Probe
You can use the procedures in this section to configure a custom probe for use with a Data
Logger.
Important!
• The sensors (CASIO, Vernier, CMA) that appear on the list during Channel Setup (page
ε
-9) are E-CON3 mode standard sensors. If you want to use a sensor that is not included
in the list, configure custom probe settings.
• A sensor with an output voltage in the range of 0 to 5 volts can be configured with E-CON3 as
a custom probe. Use of sensors with an output voltage outside of this range is not supported.

Configuring a Custom Probe Setup
To configure a custom probe setup, you must input values for the constants of the fixed
linear interpolation formula (
ax
+
b
). The required constants are slope (
a
) and intercept (
b
).
x
in the above expression (
ax
+
b
) is the sampled voltage value (sampling range: 0 to 5 volts).
• To configure a custom probe setup
1. From the E-CON3 main menu (page
ε
-1), press
1
(SET) and then
2
(ADVANCE) to
display the Advanced Setup menu.
2. On the Advanced Setup menu (page
ε
-8), press
f
(Custom Probe) to display the
Custom Probe List.
• The message “No Custom Probe” appears if the Custom Probe List is empty.
3. Press
1
(NEW).
• This displays a custom probe setup screen like the
one shown nearby.
4. Press
1
(EDIT).
5. Input up to 18 characters for the custom probe name, and then press
w
.
• This will cause the highlighting to move to “Slope”.
6. Use the function keys described below to configure the custom probe setup.
• To change the setting of an item, first use the
f
and
c
cursor keys to move the
highlighting to the item. Next, use the function keys to select the setting you want.
(1) Slope
Press
1
(EDIT) to input the slope for the linear interpolation formula.
(2) Intercept
Press
1
(EDIT) to input the intercept for the linear interpolation formula.
(3) Unit Name
Press
1
(EDIT) to input up to eight characters for the unit name.
(4) Warm-up
Press
1
(EDIT) to input the warm-up time.
