Rigol DM3058E temperature measurement?
« on: September 09, 2018, 03:28:19 pm »
Supposedly this DMM has presets for a Type K thermocouple. http://int.rigol.com/File/TechDoc/20151201/DM3058_DataSheet_EN.pdf even says "Thermocouple Cold Terminal compensation is built in the multimeter" (sic).

Anybody here know how to use this? I read the manual and I can't figure it out.

I've done:

  Sensor>Property>Type>Thermocouple
  Sensor>Property>Unit>Degrees C

When I hit "DONE" it says "Please set Para first" (which makes sense, I haven't told it it's a Type K yet).

The manual says to press "TC>Type" and "TC>JUNC", but I can't find these in the menus.

Go to Sensor - Load - select file KITS90 - Read. I just tried it with a type K thermocouple and it works.  :)

The other method you were doing let's you input your own parameters for the sensor.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Just think of us as the manual within the manual.  :-DD

Um... Not sure what this is in reference to. DM3058 does not come with any sensor files preloaded in its Save/Load storage. There's no such thing as "file KITS90".

The manual says to press "TC>Type" and "TC>JUNC", but I can't find these in the menus.

Yes, once you've entered the "Temperature" section, you will see a "Type" submenu. Hit "Type", select "TC" and you will see another "Type" and "Junc" selection. (Yes, "Type" again). Hit "Type" and you will be offered a choice of one-letter sensor types. Select "K" there and return one level up.
Now, if you wish, you can enter "Junc" submenu and select either internal cold junction compensation (default) or enter a compensation value manually. Again, internal compensation is the default, so if you are happy with that you don't need to enter "Junc" submenu.

Once you finished the sensor setup, you have to hit "Apply" to actually activate the sensor mode. Optionally, you can save the setup to a file inside the multimeter.

OK, apparently, I managed to misread one digit. What I said applies to DM3068. And you were talking about DM3058. Mea culpa.

P.S. Next time get DM3068. 'Cause that's what I use  :)
