3.7 Temperature Measurements
The 1201 supports thermocouples and resistance temperature detector
(RTD) types of probes. For thermocouples, 1201 supports 7 types: E, J,
K, N, R, S and T. Please refer to Table 3-1 for their temperature ranges.
Be sure that the temperature function is configured for the right sensor
type before making measurements (Refer to 4.1.8 for how to make the
sensor configuration).
In general, RTDs have a better accuracy and long-term stability than
thermocouples. The default RTD type in 1201 is PT100 and the
thermocouple is type K.
