5.2.4 INPUT SETUP (-R model only)
The INPUT SETUP menu allows all the parameters related to the -R module or
readout function of the instrument to be accessed. The parameters found in this menu
affect the performance, accuracy and display type of the reference PRTs.
5.2.4.1 REF INPUT
The REF INPUT (REFERENCE INPUT) menu contains the parameters for the
reference input to the readout module of the instrument. The Reference Input is only
compatible with PRTs with ITS-90, Callendar Van-Dusen, or IEC-60751 coefcients.
Additionally, the Reference Input will read straight resistance.
The probe serial number and coefcients can be found on the calibration certicate
that was shipped with the probe. If the probe requires calibration, contact an Autho-
rized Service Center to inquire about calibration services.
5.2.4.1.1 PROG PROBE
The PROG PROBE (REFERENCE PROBE SETUP) menu is used to setup the refer-
ence probe parameters.
5.2.4.1.1.1 SERIAL
The SERIAL (SERIAL NUMBER) parameter allows the user to enter ten digit alpha
numeric serial number for the reference probe. Character range = {0-9, A-Z, ‘-‘,
<Blank>}. Minimum required is 1 character.
When a blank space is entered, any characters after the blank are dropped. For ex-
ample, change S/N 1234-5678 to S/N TEST1. Enter TEST1<Blank Space>678. The
serial number will drop the last three characters and enter the S/N TEST1.
5.2.4.1.1.2 CAL DATE
The CAL DATE parameter is used to enter the calibration date for the reference
probe. Use the arrow keys to enter the calibration date in the format selected in DATE
FORMAT.
5.2.4.1.1.3 PROBE TYPE
The PROBE TYPE parameter is used to choose which probe conversion type to be
setup. Use the left and right arrow keys to select the conversion type and press “Enter”
to accept selection.
5.2.4.1.1.3.1 TYPE (ITS-90)
The TYPE parameter can be ITS-90, Callendar Van-Dusen (CVD), IEC-60751, or
Resistance. The ITS-90 option is for PRTs calibrated and characterized using the Inter-
national Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) equations. Subranges 4, and 7 through 11
are supported. The parameters that appear when ITS-90 is selected are “Serial” (Serial
Number), “Cal Date”, “RTPW”, “COEF A”, “COEF B”, “COEF C”, “COEF A4”,
