152 - Additional Information
Pages, where new user defined items can be created, contain a button as
seen in Figure 144: "Create New Instrument" button. Add as many items
as is needed; more pages are added when the previous page is full.

Note: These features are meant for experienced calibration
technicians familiar with calibrators, especially MC6-T.
Deleting a user defined item stops a measurement/generation/
simulation that was using it.
User Defined PRT/RTD Sensors
General
MC6-T offers a wealth of pre-entered standard Platinum Resistance
Temperature (PRT) type RTD sensors. They are available wherever you
may select RTD Temperature as the Quantity. However, when using a
PRT sensor as a reference sensor, the available standard sensors aren't
necessary of use. This is because reference sensors often have custom
coefficients in, e.g. their Callendar - van Dusen or ITS-90 equation.
Note: If you are using CMX: Although it is possible to create
and maintain the custom sensors in the MC6-T calibrator, it is
highly recommended that the custom sensors (including their
sensor coefficients) are created and maintained in CMX. This
way the sensor information is centrally maintained and available
for all calibrators supporting the sensors.
