4 Using a Custom Probe
You can use the procedures in this section to configure a custom probe for use with the EA-
200. The term “custom probe” means any sensor other than the CASIO or Vernier sensors
specified as standard for the E-CON2 Mode.
k Configuring a Custom Probe Setup
To configure a custom probe setup, you must input values for the constants of the fixed
linear interpolation formula (
ax + b). The required constants are slope (a) and intercept (b). x
in the above expression (ax + b) is the sampled voltage value (sampling range: 0 to 5 volts).

Using a Custom Probe

• This enters the probe name editing mode.
