Page 7: Introduction
Every DaqPRO unit is embedded with a unique serial number and can be loaded with a descriptive comment for safe identification. DaqPRO 5300 includes eight input channels for measuring voltage, current, temperature and pulses. Selectable ranges for each input are 0-24 mA, 0-50 mV, 0-10 V, a large variety of NTC, PT-100 and thermocouple temperature sensors including internal temperature, pulse counter, frequency meter and up to 20 user defined sensors. - Page 8 www.esis.com.au Ph 02 9481 7420 Fax 02 9481 7267 esis.enq@esis.com.au This manual is divided into three sections: • The first section is dedicated to the data logger itself. Topics include: Connecting sensors, configuration through the data logger keypad, and using the LCD graphic display to take measurements when working offline.

The offset value is the difference between the value displayed by DaqPRO and the reference value. For example if the calibrator is set to 0 °C and DaqPRO reads 1 °C the offset value is +1, but if DaqPRO reads −1 °C then the offset value is −1. -

To disable the temperature compensation in DaqPRO: Click Logger on the menu bar, point to Thermocouple Compensation, and then click Disable. Note: Don’t forget to enable the temperature compensation prior to normal operation of DaqPRO. -
