transducer/sensor). The chart reads from right to left, so that the most recent temperature measured is
displayed on the far right side of the chart. The dotted lines within the chart indicate intervals in the

The following settings are available:
• Temperature Scale – sets the temperature range (in degrees) for displaying the log. Select ‘Auto’
to have the unit automatically determine the best range, or select a span of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10
degrees.
• Time Duration – sets how fast or slow the temperature log scrolls; the shorter the time duration,
the faster the temperature log scroll. Select a duration from 1 minute to 2.5 hours.
