Front Panel Operation
By now, you should be familiar with the Autotune PID
feature, how to measure temperature, thermoelectric
current & voltage, and how to set various operating
parameters. If not, we recommend you read Chapter 1,
“Quick Start,” starting on page 13.
This chapter details basic operation with each sensor, how
to set limits and control parameters, and how to monitor
actual results. Corresponding remote interface commands
are briefly noted. Complete RS-232 commands are
detailed in Chapter 4.
For sensor confi guration, the following notation is used:
A, B, or C refers to the Display Select Switch settings.
Each sensor type requires different configuration
data. The data entered for
A , B , and C changes
for each sensor.
T and R refer to Temperature and Resistance data pairs
used to characterize resistive sensor’s response to
temperature. Subscripts are used when more than
one data pair is required.
Slope and Offset are used to characterize the non-resistive
sensor’s response to temperature changes.
Text in brackets (e.g. [A1] ) refers to the corresponding
RS-232 command.
