Prt; Measure Prts - Fluke 8588A Operator's Manual

PRT

Push ,  (More), then  (PRT) (platinum resistance
thermometer) to use the PRT measure function. The PRT measure function
provides a temperature readout by measuring the resistance of a connected
PRT. 2 Wire, 3 Wire, or 4 Wire measurements can be made.
PRT Submenu
This section explains the PRT submenu.
 (Probe R
 (Resolution): The default resolution is 5 Digits. The other choice is
6 Digits.
 (Probe): Allows selection of 2 Wire, 3 Wire, or 4 Wire PRTs.
 (Units): This softkey opens a menu to select the desired temperature
units, K, °C, or °F.
 (Measure Setup): Provides access to a menu that changes the reading
rate similar to DCV. Choices are Auto, Auto Fast, and Manual.

Measure PRTs

Before you connect a 2- or 3-wire PRT, you must perform Input zero on the
resistance ranges shown in Table 15.
