Temperature Calibration 
P855 – P856 External Temp Scale (From Soft Rev 6.6.9) 
 
 
These  two  parameters  are  used  to  set  the  low  and  high  Analogue  to  Digital 
conversion for the pulsar external temperature sensor when using the temperature 
input option. When the correct external range has been selected in P852 (option 4 
= external range A, option 5 = external range B) the external temperature sensor 
can be calibrated at its lowest temperature, P855, and its highest, P856. The input 
is effectively a 4-20mA input and with the sensor forced low (output 4mA), enter 
P855 and press the ‘n’ hotkey to receive the raw signal. Press enter to accept this 
value  and  repeat  for  P856  with  the  sensor  forced  high  (output  20mA).  The 
temperature can then be observed using P586. 
P857 – P858 Temp Cal (transducer 1 – transducer 2) 
 
This parameter is used to calibrate the transducer temperature. If, due to 
component tolerances, the temp is not the same as when measured by a more 
accurate method, the known correct temperature can be entered via this 
parameter. The unit will then use this entered value to calibrate its on board 
sensor. 
 
P859 Temp Average  
 
 
The parameter decides the amount of temperature averages taken before the 
temperature reading is displayed.
