8 Operational (Trigger) Modes
8.1 Introduction
The
Cyclops 160B
thermometer has three operating modes:
•
Classic
•
History
•
Burst
The thermometer trigger is used to control
the operation of the thermometer in each
mode. The trigger has two stages:
T1
and
T2
(See inset).
A light press on the trigger will move it to
position
T1
, at which point a stronger press
will be required to move the trigger a small,
further distance to the second position
T2
.
This section of the user guide describes the
measurement and data collection options
available by using the two-stage trigger
functions.
8.2 Classic Mode
Classic Mode is the simplest operating mode and the one that most closely
resembles the operation of earlier Cyclops portable thermometers.
In Classic Mode, the trigger operation is single stage (
T1
) only. However,
note that in Classic Mode, moving the trigger to the
T2
position has no
further effect.
All four measured temperature types (
Peak
,
Continuous
,
Average
and
Valley
) are displayed on the side LCD panel, although only the highlighted
temperature type is displayed in the viewfinder and streamed serially, via
Bluetooth
, to the DL-1000 datalogging software. Data is streamed in
0.5s intervals when the trigger is pressed in. When the trigger is released,
streaming stops and the temperature is logged.
