PROGRAM (view Only)

The PROGRAM parameter indicates the number of the selected program.

NAME (view Only)

Program NAME indicates the program name. To set the program name, see the PROG:[n]NAME serial 
command. Example: a thermometer model number.

IRT 

ε

IRT 

ε

 is the emissivity setting of the IR thermometer to be calibrated.

DISTANCE

DISTANCE is the distance in centimeters (cm) from the IR target to the DUT.

APERTURE

Select YES or NO. Yes indicates that an external aperture is required during calibration.

NO. SETPOINTS

The NO. SETPOINTS is the number of set-points defined for a given program. The number of set-
points for each program can be set from 1 to 8 and vary depending on the needs of the user. Set the 
maximum number of set-points needed for the program selected. Once the number of set-points is 
selected, push 

ENTER

 to accept the new setting.

SETPOINT n:

Use SETPOINT n to set the temperature for each given set-point. n is a number from 1 to No. Set-
points.

PROG OPTION

Use the PROG OPTION to set program parameters.

SETTLE TEST

SETTLE TEST is the criteria to determine when the temperature of the surface is stable. The options 
are: AUTO and LIMIT. AUTO uses a predetermined value for the stability. LIMIT uses the value set by 
the STABLE LIMIT parameter in the TEMP SETUP|SETUP|STABLE LIMIT window.

SOAK MINUTES

The SOAK MINUTES parameter is the number of minutes that each of the program set-points is 
maintained. The time starts when the temperature settles to within the specified stability. The stability 
limit is set in the TEMP SETUP|SETUP|STABLE LIMIT window.

ADVANCE

Use ADVANCE to set the choice to advance to the next step in the program automatically (AUTO) or to 
be prompted from the screen (PROMPT).

CYCLES

CYCLES is the number of times that the Product repeats the program.
