Chapter 18 User's Software

You can have a maximum of six probes installed at any time.

Since the serial number of the probe is identified as well as the

model number, more than one probe of the same model number

may be installed at the same time.

To view or change probe calibration data in the meter’s

internal memory...

1. Establish communications between the meter and your

computer as described in paragraph in Establishing

Communications...

2. Select Install Probes from the Install Probes menu.

The 8718B will beep to indicate that stored probes

information has been retrieved. The Probe Installation

Screen will appear on the computer.

The table in the top left hand corner lists the probes by model

and serial number that have been installed in your Model 8718B.

A small box just below the table lists the total number of installed

probes.
To simply view the details of any installed probe proceed to

Viewing Installed Probes section. If you have less than six

probes installed and want to install a probe you can proceed as

described in Installing a Probe. If you already have six probes

installed, you must first remove one or more probes to make

room. Proceed to the Removing Installed Probes section.

Viewing Installed Probes

To view the information on a specific probe that has

box. The calibration information for that specific probe

will appear.

the Main Menu Screen click the Close button.
