Using a Custom Probe
4. Using a Custom Probe
You can use the procedures in this section to configure a custom probe for use with a Data
Logger
.
Important!
• The sensors (CASIO, Vernier, CMA) that appear on the list during Channel Setup (page
ε-9) are E-CON3 mode standard sensors. If you want to use a sensor that is not included
in the list, configure custom probe settings.
• A sensor with an output voltage in the range of 0 to 5 volts can be configured with E-CON3 as
a custom probe. Use of sensors with an output voltage outside of this range is not supported.
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).
• To configure a custom probe setup
1. From the E-CON3 main menu (page ε-1), press 1(SET) and then 2(ADVANCE) to
display the Advanced Setup menu.
2. On the Advanced Setup menu (page
ε-8), press f(Custom Probe) to display the
Custom Probe List.
• The message “No Custom Probe” appears if the Custom Probe List is empty.
3. Press 1(NEW).
• This displays a custom probe setup screen like the
one shown nearby.
4. Press 1(EDIT).
5. Input up to 18 characters for the custom probe name, and then press w.
• This will cause the highlighting to move to “Slope”.
6. Use the function keys described below to configure the custom probe setup.
• To change the setting of an item, first use the f and c cursor keys to move the
highlighting to the item. Next, use the function keys to select the setting you want.
(1) Slope
Press 1(EDIT) to input the slope for the linear interpolation formula.
(2) Intercept
Press 1(EDIT) to input the intercept for the linear interpolation formula.
(3) Unit Name
Press 1(EDIT) to input up to eight characters for the unit name.
(4) Warm-up
Press 1(EDIT) to input the warm-up time.
