Datastudio and temperature sensor
Make sure the temperature probe is connected to the laptop through
USB Link and DataStudio is running, and the experiment file has been loaded (as per
lab manual directions). |
You need a source of BOILING water, and a
source of ICE COLD (slushy) water - BEFORE you start calibrating. |
Follow Calibration Instructions
- Click on SETUP button
- Select CALIBRATE SENSORS button
- The calibration type should be 2 Point
- Set the Standard Value of Calibration Point 1 as 0 and Calibration Point 2 as 100
degrees.
- Place the probe into the ice-water bath. Swirl it around to make
sure it equalizes the temperature to 0 degrees (the "sensor
value" reading should settle down to a reasonably constant
value).
- Wait for the Sensor Value to stabilize {don't worry about the value
- just when it basically stops changing radically ..
dude} - click
READ FROM SENSOR button.
- Remove the probe from the ice water, and warm it a little with
your hand (just to reduce the shock when we move it to the boiling
water).
- Place the probe into the source of boiling water, and swirl it
around until the Sensor Value for 2 stabilizes, and then click READ
FROM SENSOR.
- Before you close this dialog box - RECORD YOUR TWO VALUES - in
case you need to recalibrate the sensor, you can just type in these
values.
