The next 60 columns in the row hold the individual temperature
reading the KD2 Pro uses to calculate the thermal properties of the
sample. The data displays in either C or F.
The time interval between the 60 individual temperature readings
is scaled according to the read time selected. For instance, if a one
minute read time has been selected, each of the 60 temperature read-
ings are at one second intervals, while a five minute read time pro-
duces 60 temperature readings at five second intervals, etc.
The KD2 Pro Utility formats measurement dates according to the
Windows Local settings found in the Control Panel under "Regional
and Language Options" ("Regional Settings" in Windows 98). You
can override this by going to the Preferences Menu
and selecting an option under "Date/Time Format." You can set this
value to day/month/ year format, using a 12- or 24-hour clock. (The
Preferences Menu is explained in more detail later in this section.)
