Using the Offset to Compensate for Probe Errors
Use the offset option in “SETUP” to adjust temperature readings to
compensate for the errors of a specified thermocouple.
1. Plug the thermocouple into the input terminal.
2. Place the thermocouple in a known stable temperature
environment (such as an ice bath or a dry well calibrator).
3. Allow the readings to stabilize.
4. In “SETUP”, change the offset until the primary display reading
matches the calibration temperature. See “ How to Change
Setup Options ”
3. How to Use Memory
During logging session, the thermometer stores logged readings in its
memory. At the end of the logging session you can view the logged
readings on the display. You can also transfer the logged readings to a
PC running the provided WS600 software (optional), see “
How to
Communicate with a PC ”.
WS600 displays the readings on an online form, which you can print or
store for later use.
Initial Conditions and Data Entries
Logged readings include initial conditions and data entries. The initial
conditions are the thermocouple type and the offsets for each
thermocouple input. You can only view initial conditions using WS600.
The data entries are a time stamp and the T1, T2, T3,T4, T1-T2 or T3-T4
reading for the DT304. You can view these values by pressing “ “
momentarily or using WS600. The thermometer has 9,999 memory
locations. The thermometer stores 9,999 sets of temperature readings
and one set of initial conditions when logging continuously. It stores
9,999 sets of temperature readings and initial conditions when logging
individual points manually.
