Hello, A simple request. I am measuring temperature with type TT thermocouples. I would like the display readout in the text mode to only account for two decimal places. How do I do this?

Peter

Hello,

Sorry for the post, I figured it out by reading the manual.

To set a parameter, simply send the parameters ID. For example...
P36 - is temperature
P36=4 - changes the readout to four significant digits

Good morning Peter,

Parameter 36 (P36) is used to set the temperature units, not decimal points.

e.g. P36=0 sets degrees C (Default setting) P36=4 Sets up the DT800 for degrees R (Rankin)

The default number of decimal places for temperature readings in one decimal place. If you are using DeLogger4 this is changed to 4 decimal places (because deLogger4 uses fixed format mode /H).

If you are using DeTransfer and programming in the dataTaker code then use the FF channel option to set the number of decimal places.

E.g 1TK(FF5) will read a thermocouple on channel 1 and display 5 significant figures.

Cheers,
Roger
