More information can be found in the download area at www.testo.com. 4.3.4.6. Adjusting the instrument The testo adjusting concept allows the entire signal chain from the sensor signal (probe) and the digital signal (within the transmitter) through to the analog signal (transmitter output signal) to be adjusted (see diagram).
Either the 1-point adjustment or 2-point adjustment is suitable for adjusting the sensor signal - digital signal chain. The testo 6381transmitter has digital probes whose adjustment information is stored in the probes' internal memory. Both 1-point and 2-point adjustments can thus be carried out on another testo 6381 (e.g.
Please note that the 1-point adjustment is generally performed on the basis of the % RH and °C/°F parameters. Adjusting testo 6381 using testo handheld instrument ✓ The service flap is open, a testo 400/650 handheld instrument with a precision humidity probe is ready.
