Using Memory

Using the Offset to Adjust for Probe Errors

Use the offset option in Setup to adjust the thermometer’s readings to compensate for the errors of a specific thermocouple.

1.Plug the thermocouple into the input connector.

2.Place the thermocouple in a known, stable temperature environment (such as an ice bath or a dry well calibrator).

3.Allow the readings to stabilize.

4.In Setup change the offset until the primary display reading matches the calibration temperature. (See "Changing Setup Options.")

Using Memory

During a logging session the thermometer stores logged readings in its memory.

At the end of the logging session you can view the logged readings on the display.

You can also transfer the logged readings to a PC running FlukeView Forms software. (See "Communicating with a PC.")

FlukeView Forms displays the logged readings on an online form, which you can print or store for later use.
