1586A Users Manual Temperature Unit This is an overall Product setting that sets the temperature units to be shown in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Notes • The ability to change this setting to Fahrenheit is not available in some regions. • Mx+B and Alarm settings of temperature channels are reset when the temperature unit is changed. Align Channels The Align Channels function lets the user designate a reference channel to align other channels to so that measured offsets between sensors can be set to zero relative to one another and the reference channel. This is accomplished with an Mx+B offset that is automatically applied to the selected channels to make them match the reference channel. An application where this is commonly used is for temperature measurements. For example, a reference probe that is fully calibrated is put into a chamber with other probes that reads 250.52 °C. With the align function, the user sets the calibrated reference probe channel to be the reference channel. The user then sets four probes channels to be aligned with that reference that currently read 250.52 °C, 250.68 °C, 250.71 °C, 250.33 °C. When the user aligns the probes, the Product calculates and applies an Mx+B offset to the probes so that the displayed measurement value is the same as the reference probe. The result is that all four probes now measure 250.52 °C. To align to a reference channel: 1. Push . 2. Push . 3. Push . 4. Use and to select a channel as the reference then push . 5. Use and to highlight a channel then push to select or deselect. Multiple channels can be selected to align. 6. Push to align the channels. The Product will take measurements on the reference channel and selected channels, then use Mx+B function to align these channels to the reference. 4-10 MyFlukeStore Shop for Fluke products online at: www. .com 1.888.610.7664
