NOTE The temperature stipulated here is the target test bath temperature. The
miniAV-LT will normally be controlled at 30°C (called the idle tempera-
ture) and the target test bath temp will only be achieved during sample
test.
3. Select the desired unit of temperature measurement (°C or °F).
4. Type the desired temperature in the Bath Temp: field. Acceptable
values are any numbers between -40°C and 30°C. If necessary, you

0.01°C. Press OK to save the temperature setting.
NOTES The miniAV-LT will not allow sample testing until the instrument has
equilibrated temperature at the test temperature.
