Sensor Warm-Up Times

Some sensors require a certain warm-up period before an accurate measurement can be taken. LabPro
handles this automatically in remote modes by warming up each sensor for the appropriate amount of
time. The Turbidity Sensor, for example, requires a 2-second warm-up period.

The table below lists all sensors with warm-up times of 2 seconds or longer. If a sensor is not on this list,
its warm-up time is negligible.
