Automated Test

Overview

The Product has an automated test feature that works directly with an external

temperature source (the source) to calibrate and verify the performance of temperature

probes (UUT) against a calibrated reference probe.

To fully automate the test, the user can connect to and control a temperature source such

as dry-wells, microbaths, or fluid baths from Fluke Calibration. In this configuration, the

Product communicates the setpoint to the source via the RS-232 connection on the rear

panel (see Figure 4-7). The source is then activated and sets the temperature to the

setpoint. When the measurement from the reference temperature probe that is wired to the

Product meets all the parameters of the setpoint (tolerance, stability, and soak time), the

Product automatically communicates the next setpoint. This sequence repeats until all

setpoints are complete.

Note

The Automated Test has a Control Source setting that can be toggled to On

or Off. When Off, the operator must manually set the temperature on the

source.
