MENU Options 

The MENU selection from the CT-2000 keypad permits the user to access three functions: 

 

Change to (C/F):

 Changes screen display to alternate temperature scale 

 

Bath Temperature Offsets

: Globally adjusts calibration data 

 

COM Setup:

 Sets computer communication options 

Change to (C/F) 

The 

Change to 

(Celsius or Fahrenheit) option is essentially a toggle between two temperature 

scales. If the instrument is currently displaying numeric data in degrees Celsius, selecting this option 
changes the scale to Fahrenheit, and vice versa. 

To switch from one unit of measure to another, press the 

MENU

 key, press 

1

 and press 

ENTER.
