40 - Active Terminals and Connections
Note: For HART and Fieldbus instrument specifics, see
Communicator. For information on External Devices (Pressure
and Temperature Controllers) used together with Calibrator and
Documenting Calibrator, see Additional Information.
In this manual, when presenting each function, there is a picture
with highlighted active terminals. The highlight for possible
optional connections is lighter. Connections to instruments are
included if it requires special attention. See chapter Current
Generation (Source or Sink).
Note: A measurement, generation or simulation in one
subwindow reserve terminals in MC6-T. This may affect the
availability of measurements, generations and simulations in the
other subwindow. To free terminals, tap on the quantity button
and in the opened window, tap on the "Stop" button.
Measurements
Temperature Measurement (Thermocouple)
MC6-T has two thermocouple connectors. TC1 is for cables and standard
TC plugs. TC2 is for TC plugs with flat contacts.
Check the Sensor Type. Your measurement results are unreliable unless
you select the same sensor type as is connected to MC6-T. Select also
a suitable Reference Junction compensation method. Wrong settings
yield useless measurement results. For more information see chapter
Thermocouple Connections.

sensor type
