Thermocouple Type
The Thermocouple Type slide-out menu is available in Single Output menu TC Source and Measure
menu TC Measure functions.
To select a thermocouple:
1. Tap the Thermocouple Type button ( ). The Thermocouple Type slide-out menu opens.
2. Select the thermocouple type to simulate (listed in order horizontally):
3. Tap the Apply button or push E. This closes the menu. The entry is copied to the
thermocouple button. Tapping x instead of Apply closes the menu without saving changes.
Note
The unsettled indicator (open yellow square) that occasionally appears in the upper left of the
Display indicates an internal adjustment to the measured isothermal block temperature and is
normal. If it appears for more than 10 seconds (nominal), or if it appears to flash continuously,
check to see that you are not externally heating the thermocouple connector or wires, or that
more time is needed for thermocouple path temperatures to come to equilibrium.
Single Output Menu
