You can have a maximum of six probes installed at any time.
Since the serial number of the probe is identified as well as the
model number, more than one probe of the same model number
may be installed at the same time.
To view or change probe calibration data in the meter’s
internal memory...
1. Establish communications between the meter and your
computer as described in paragraph in Establishing
Communications...
2. Select Install Probes from the Install Probes menu.
The 8718B will beep to indicate that stored probes
information has been retrieved. The Probe Installation
Screen will appear on the computer.
The table in the top left hand corner lists the probes by model
and serial number that have been installed in your Model 8718B.
A small box just below the table lists the total number of installed
probes.
To simply view the details of any installed probe proceed to
Viewing Installed Probes section. If you have less than six
probes installed and want to install a probe you can proceed as
described in Installing a Probe. If you already have six probes
installed, you must first remove one or more probes to make
room. Proceed to the Removing Installed Probes section.
