Temperature
Measurement
With default factory settings, the FOT instrument will automatically
start making temperature measurements approximately one minute
after power up. To start or stop measurements, use “Action
Commands (One-Letter) in Chapter 4, “User Interface Commands’’.
To adjust measurement rates, analog output values, and other
settings, refer to the “Parameter Commands (Two-Letter)’’, also in
Chapter 4
NOTE Keep the protective black vinyl caps on the unused instrument
probe ports. This prevents ambient light from entering the system, which
could adversely affect the accuracy of temperature measurements from
the remaining active probe(s).
Probe Table
Settings
The FOT Lab Kit is designed to work with many different probe
types. There are four standard industrial probes (shown earlier in
Table 2-1 on page 2-4) and some specific industry probes, for
example, medical and power transformer probes. To guarantee
system operation within specifications, the FOT Lab Kit must be
configured to operate with your specific probe type. This is done by
selecting the correct lookup table. See Table 3-1 below to lookup
the correct calibration table for your probe type.
The FOT Lab Kit's default lookup table is T1. A simple command is
used to change the lookup table. For example, to change the
instrument to operate with table T2, the user sends the following
command: <ESC> T2. Further details of this command are
described in Chapter 4, Page 4-23.
