you do the following:
− Configure your instrument
− Acquire temperature, voltage, or resistance data from up to 48 analog input channels
− Display acquired temperature, voltage, or resistance data during acquisition
− Set alarm limits for each channel
− Update the value of the digital output lines based on alarm conditions
− Use a chart recorder to display data over time and log it to an .hpf file for later analysis
− Open the last recorded .hpf data file in Microsoft Excel
− View any .hpf data file in a file viewer

MEASURpoint instrument in the field using precise calibration equipment and the
Measurement Calibration Utility. Since each instrument consists of up to 48 individual
channels, great care must be taken to ensure that proper warm-up times are followed and
precise calibration equipment is used.
The calibration utility ships with a comprehensive help file that describes the required
equipment and calibration procedure, including warm-up times, for each instrument.
The calibration utility allows you to revert to the factory calibration for any or all
channels, or revert back to the last user calibration values, if desired. In addition, this
utility generates a report that lists the starting and ending calibration values for each
channel, allowing traceability.
