Condensation

Make sure that you avoid condensing conditions inside the instrument at all times. The 
operation of the electrometers depends on excellent insulation, which is no longer gu-
aranteed if the insulators are humid.

Automatic Offset Measurement

The electrometer offset drifts with temperature, and can also drift if the insulator is dirty or humid. To verify 
proper instrument operation and to compensate for small drifts, testo DiSCmini automatically turns off its 
pump once an hour for one minute and continues recording data. testo DiSCmini does not use this data 
immediately; instead, the of

fl

 ine testo DiSCmini software detects the intervals where the pump was turned 

off and uses the values recorded there to correct zero offset drifts. 

Software

The testo DiSCmini data conversion tool lets you open raw testo DiSCmini data 

fi

 les and export analyzed 

data in tab-

fi

 le format. The program is controlled with the toolbar, which is separated into several different 

fi

 elds: File functions, computations, options, stage signals, and auxiliary signals. Hovering the mouse over a 

toolbar button displays a tooltip explaining what the button does.
