Appendix A. Example CR10(X) Program
for Ice Bath Calibration

The following program can be used to calibrate 43347 probes (probes ordered
without the 3-point RM Young calibration) for users wanting better than
±0.3°C. The calibration computes a multiplier for the P9 measurement
Instruction (Section 5.2, Programming for Uncalibrated 43347-VX Probes).

Procedure:

Immerse the stainless steel tip of the 43347 probe in a properly prepared ice
bath

1

and allow the temperature to stabilize (about an hour). Program the

CR10X with the program listed below. Toggle Flag 1 high, which causes the
43347 probe to be measured 100 times. The average of the measurement result
is placed into input location 2 and the reciprocal of location 2 is placed into
input location 3. The value from location 3 is used as the multiplier for the P9
Instruction (Section 5.2, Programming for Uncalibrated 43347-VX Probes).
Typical values for locations 2 and 3 would be 1.0012 and 0.998 respectively.
