2.8 Temperature Measurements
DL-1060 supports thermocouples and resistance temperature detector (RTD) types of
probes. For thermocouples, DL-1060 supports 9 types: E, J, K, N, R, S, B, T, and C.
Please refer to
Table 2-1
for their temperature ranges. Be sure that the temperature
function is configured for the right sensor type before making measurements (Refer to
3.1.8
for how to make the sensor configuration).
In general, RTDs have a better accuracy and long-term stability than thermocouples.
The default RTD type in DL-1060 is PT100 and the thermocouple is type K.
