Sensor type
For measurements and simulation of various resistance thermometers (RTDs) and
thermocouples (TCs).
All possible sensor types are stated in the specifications (see chapter 10
“Specifications”). The options also show the amplitude of the pulse or frequency
simulation and the pressure unit.
Additional settings
Only available for the option “TC measurement” (thermocouple) and “RTD
measurement” (resistance thermometer).
With the option “TC”, this setting switches the cold junction compensation (CJC) on or
off.
With RTD measurements, this setting defines the number of wires for the
measurement (2W = 2-wire measurement, 3W = 3-wire measurement, 4W = 4-wire
measurement).
Input/output display
Switches the lower display between input mode (measuring) and output mode
(output/simulation).
Primary parameters
Defines which parameter will be measured or outputted/simulated.
The available options for the upper display are: “VOLTS IN” (input voltage),
“PRESSURE” (pressure), “mA IN” (input current in mA) and “mA LOOP” (mA with
DC 24 V voltage supply).
The available options for the lower display are: “VOLTS” (voltage), “TC”
(thermocouple), “RTD” (resistance thermometer), “FREQ” (frequency), “PULSE”
(pulse), “PRESSURE” (pressure) and “mA” (current) or “mA 2W SIM” (current
simulation).
6.2 Menu bar
The display parameters are managed via the menu bar, which is found along the bottom
of the LCD display. The function keys [F1], [F2] and [F3] enable navigation through all
levels and options of the menu bar. The upper menu level is the start menu.
One can return to this at any time with the [HOME] key. There are three variants of the
start menu: the input start menu, the output start menu and the pulse start menu.
6.2.1 Menu function “Measuring”
In the start menu for the function “Measuring”, only the options “MENU” and “LIGHT” are
active. The option “MENU” calls the next menu level to the menu bar, i.e. to call the main
