When logging the temperature data, each “N-th” reading is
stored in the internal memory.
Where N can be set in seconds to
1
5
10
30
60
The temperature is not averaged over “N”. Instead the actual
temperature reading at each “N” seconds is stored.
7.2.4 Menu Item “C,F,K,ADC”
There are four ways to display the temperature
Select with and
Confirm with
C Degrees Centigrade
F Degrees Fahrenheit
K Degrees Kelvin
ADC Actual analog to digital value

of 16 hrs. When using a fully charged and healthy battery.
A voltage below 3.6 Volt switches of the electronics
completely. When connected to a charger, electronics will
switch back on.

When fully charged, the red charging LED will switch off
7.2.8 Menu Item “Set Filter“
The filter can be averaged using a mathematical moving
average. The settings between brackets are the number of
mathematical points. Seven settings options are possible:
No [0]
Weak [36]
Very low [72]
Standard [144]
Medium [108]
Plus [180]
Strong [216]
Max [255]
This value influences the time response. For a fast time
response a filter can be best set to “Weak”.
A reading of [0] will be very nervous.
For a more stable reading a filter can be best set to
“standard [144]”
7.2.9 Menu Item “Baud Rate”
There are two baud rates available
19.200
57.600
