6.5.5 Temperature compensation
Selection bar has inverse display. Press
↑↓
to move selection bar, ENTER to select, and
ESC to return to the menu.
Enabling temperature compensation changes the display value. The value displayed is the
resistance that a device made of this material would have if its temperature were e.g. 20
°
C.
The instrument converts the resistance in accordance with DIN VDE 0472:
Where;
R(T) is the resistance measured at temperature T
R(T0) is the resistance value at the reference temperature T0 (normally 20
°
C) **
TC is the temperature coefficient in ppm/K
It is possible to enter another 8 custom TC’s (max. 8 materials, text and numerical value) in the
instrument via the interface using PC software. These are then displayed on the two subsequent
pages.
*A TC of +3930 ppm/k means that the resistance of the device under test will be increased by
0.393% per degree C.
** In Europe, the specified test values are normally referred to 20
°
C, in USA to 23
°
C or 25
°
C.
This reference temperature can be changed in menu 160.
