Configuring the F40-TT transmitter in Dataquest A.R.T.
The F40-TT was formally added as a transmitter model in Dataquest A.R.T. v4.1; however,
Dataquest A.R.T. v4.0 and earlier versions can be used with a custom configuration.
Additionally, as of June 2008, the F40-TT is being calibrated over an extended temperature
range (22-41ºC) to provide accurate measurements of tail temperature. This document
outlines the steps used to configure the F40-TT transmitter including the adjustments in the
software that are required to accommodate the extended temperature range.
Important! The following steps are required in A.R.T. version 4.1 and earlier to ensure
the accuracy of temperature measurements even if the F40-TT device is not being
used over the extended temperature range
. This document is a supplement to the
configuration information found in the Dataquest A.R.T. user manual.
No changes in the software configuration are required for A.R.T. v4.2.
