Custom Probes

Obtaining thermistors through specialty suppliers allows you wider flexibility in the number of
possible probe assemblies for your specific applications. That way, if you have a special
surface, penetration, pipe well or immersion sensing applications, you can usually get
off-the-shelf or even custom probes to suit. Contact your dealer for recommendations.
Writing Your Own Thermistor Equations
Each thermistor temperature probe you use with SmartReader Plus data loggers must be
associated with a standard or custom equation in TrendReader software. This equation
translates the internal digital logger readings for the specific thermistor, or thermistor type, into
the units of your choice (e.g. degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit).
TrendReader software includes a function that can automatically create custom equations for
use with your own thermistors. See Equations in the TrendReader guide.
