Setup Page #1
Units
The Units parameter specifies the measurement units. The options are: 0.01 °C, 0.001 °C,
0.01 °F, 0.001 °F, 0.01 K, 0.001 K, and . Temperatures are displayed with either two or
three digits of resolution. Resistance is displayed with three digits of resolution.
Memory

Page 4 of 18 Aug 08
The Memory parameter specifies which Memory Data Items are displayable on the bottom of
the Data Page. There are seven possible Memory Data Items: Maximum, Minimum, Average,
Last, Date, Time, and Label. To specify whether a Memory Data Item is enabled or not,
toggle the associated character in the parameter string: MMALDTL. If the character is
displayed, the associated Memory Data Item is enabled. If ‘-‘ is displayed, the associated
Memory Data Item is disabled. For example, if MMA---- is displayed, Maximum, Minimum,
and Average will be the only Memory Data Items displayable on the bottom of the Data
Page.
.
Memory Locations
The M Locs parameter specifies the number of Memory Locations available for memory
storage. M Locs can be set between 1 and 100.
Note: The only purpose of the Memory and M Locs parameters is to reduce the amount
of information to scroll through when viewing Memory data on the Data Page.
Revision Page
To display the revision page, press the Right arrow key when Units is the highlighted
parameter.

The probe selection page is only displayed if the Model 310 has been enabled for the multiple
probe option.
Prb
The Prb parameter allows for selection of one of four programmed sets of coefficients.
S/N
S/N specifies the serial number for the selected sensor. The S/N parameter cannot be edited
on the probe selection page. It can only be edited in the sensor setup and calibration section
after entering the Unlock Code.
Mdl

probe selection page. It can only be edited in the sensor setup and calibration section after
entering the Unlock Code.
Setup Page #3
The spot offset page is not displayed if the Units parameter is set to .
SpotOff
The SpotOff parameter specifies the single point or “spot” calibration value. The difference
between the temperature measured by the Model 310 and a known calibration temperature is
entered as the spot offset value. Once entered, that value is then added to the measured
temperature to correct for the temperature difference. This provides excellent accuracy for a
narrow temperature range (± 5 °C) around the calibration point.
