Editing a Temperature Probe Component

You do not need to calibrate a temperature probe. However, if you are using a changeable temperature sensor, you need to ensure that the theoretical vector of the temperature probe is correct.

If you are using a knuckle component, you can adjust the theoretical vector by changing the rotation angle about the connection.

To edit a temperature probe component:

  1. From the main menu, select Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe to access the Probe Utilities dialog box. (For information on that dialog box, see "Understanding the Probe Utilities Dialog Box" in the "Defining Hardware" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.)

  2. From the Probe Utilities dialog box, in the Probe Description area, double-click on a component to show the Edit Probe Component dialog box.

  3. In the Default rotation angle about connection box, type the desired angle (any angle from +180° to -180°), and click OK.

The image below shows an example for a knuckle component:
