cable supplied.
11 Fit the probe to the system and fill it with liquid nitrogen. Wait for the boiling to subside.
Record the pulse count reading and use this for
Frequency at 100%

The board should start measuring after about 10s, giving an actual pulse count
measurement of the probe. If the probe is warm (eg. out of the system), this reading should
be converted and used for
Frequency at 0%
value.
