Te mp e r at ur e A r r ay S peci ficati ons Two-point calibration Though it is usually not necessary, a two-point calibration can be performed on a single probe, or on all probes simultaneously, to make the measurements more accurate. For step-by-step instructions refer to the documentation for DataStudio version 1.9.5, the Xplorer, or the Xplorer GLX. Oversampling The degree of oversampling that takes place within the Temperature Array depends on the sample rate and the number of connected probes.
