You can have a maximum of six probes installed at any time. Since the serial number of the probe is identified as well as the model number, more than one probe of the same model number may be installed at the same time.
To view or change probe calibration data in the meter’s
internal memory...
1.Establish communications between the meter and your computer as described in paragraph in Establishing
Communications...
2.Select Install Probes from the Install Probes menu. The 8718B will beep to indicate that stored probes information has been retrieved. The Probe Installation Screen will appear on the computer.
The table in the top left hand corner lists the probes by model and serial number that have been installed in your Model 8718B. A small box just below the table lists the total number of installed probes.

If you have less than six probes installed and want to install a probe you can proceed as described in Installing a Probe. If you already have six probes installed, you must first remove one or more probes to make room. Proceed to the Removing Installed Probes section.
