The HD21ABE17 instrument also measures Temperature and Relative Humidity, and it calculates Dew Point, Wet Bulb Temperature, Absolute Humidity, Mixing Ratio and Enthalpy. HD21ABE and HD21ABE17 are dataloggers with a memory capacity of 67600 recordings, divided in 64 blocks. They use the DeltaLog10 software from version 0.1.5.3.
The parameter displayed with a larger character is called main quantity. In order to select the parameter to be displayed as main quantity, use the ▲▼ keys. For some quantities, you can select the unit of measurement; temperature can be displayed as °C or °F. 2.1 T HD21ABE D ISPLAY HD21ABE 2010/02/10 08:00:00...
