9.1.2. DATA RECORDING DEVICES
A strip chart recorder, data acquisition system or digital data acquisition system should
be used to record data from the serial or analog outputs of the T300/T300M.
If analog readings are used, the response of the recording system should be
checked against a NIST traceable voltage source or meter.
Data recording devices should be capable of bi-polar operation so that negative
readings can be recorded.
For electronic data recording, the T300/T300M provides an internal data acquisition
system (DAS), which is described in detail in Section 7.
APICOM, a remote control program, is also provided as a convenient and powerful tool
for data handling, download, storage, quick check and plotting (see Section 7.2.1).
9.2. MANUAL CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT
IMPACT ON READINGS OR DATA
ZERO/SPAN CALIBRATION CHECKS VS. ZERO/SPAN CALIBRATION
Pressing the ENTR button during the following procedure resets the stored
values for OFFSET and SLOPE and alters the instrument’s Calibration.
This should ONLY BE DONE during an actual calibration of the T300/T300M.
NEVER press the ENTR button if you are only checking calibration. If you wish to
perform a calibration CHECK, do not press ENTR and refer to Section 9.2.2.
