Note: With ITS-90 conversion, where subranges overlap, the high subrange supersedes the low subrange. If only subrange
5 is used in a probe definition, select subrange 5 for both High Subrange and Low Subrange. If a subrange is set to NONE,
all temperatures will be based on the programmed subrange (alerts in measurement screen inform the user when a defined
ITS-90 subrange is exceeded, see Display Settings submenu in Display Menu).
The following are the Add Probe Screen function keys.
5.7.2.1.1 TEST CALCULATION (F1)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU | ADD PROBE |
The Test Calculation function key helps the user verify the probe calibration coefficients were entered correct-
ly. A resistance is entered and a temperature is calculated based on the calibration coefficients. The calculated
temperature is compared with the probe’s calibration report to verify correct coefficient entry.
5.7.2.1.2 SAVE (F2)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU | ADD PROBE |
The Save function key saves the newly entered probe information into the Probe Library. Exiting without
selecting SAVE cancels all changes.
5.7.2.1.3 CANCEL (F5)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU | ADD PROBE
The Cancel function key exits the Add Probe screen without saving changes.
5.7.2.2 COPY PROBE (F2)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU |
The Copy Probe function key allows the user to create a new probe definition based on an existing definition.
In the Probe Menu screen, select the probe definition to be copied. Press the COPY PROBE (F2) function
key. Update the PROBE ID field with a unique probe ID. Press the SAVE (F2) function key to save the copied
definition. If a unique ID is not entered, the ID will be appended with a _1 automatically.
5.7.2.3 EDIT PROBE (F3)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU |
The Edit Probe screen is used to edit probe definitions that have been entered into the Probe Library. When
Edit Probe is selected, the same probe definition fields found in the Add Probe screen are shown. Refer to Sec-
tion 5.7.2.1, ADD PROBE (F1), on page 34 for a full description of each field.
Changes made in the Edit Probe screen are not saved until the SAVE (F2) function key is selected. The EXIT
key or CANCEL (F5) can be selected at any time to exit without saving changes.
