4.4 CALCULATED PSYCHROMETRIC PAR AMETERS
Beside relative humidity and temperature, the HP32 can display 2 of the following 10 psychrometric parameters:
• Dew / Frost point (Dp/Fp)
• Wet bulb temperature (Tw)
• Enthalpy (H)
• Vapor concentration (Dv)
• Specic humidity (Q )
• Mixing ration by weight (R)
• Vapor pressure (E)
• Saturation vapor pressure (Ew)
• Saturation vapor density (SVD)
Select the parameters that you want to log and/or see on the home screen within:
Main menu [OK] Settings Displayed calculated parameters
You can change the order of values on the home screen by [UP] on the home screen.
8 ADJUSTMENT
The HP3X has a humidity and temperature adjustment function so that you can adjust directly
with the handheld instrument. The instrument can make a 1-point adjustment for temperature
and a 1-point or 3-point adjustment for humidity.
Main Menu [OK] Adjustment
Select Humidity or Temperature with the arrow keys and conrm with OK.
Example of sequence for 3-point humidity adjustment:
Reference value 1 10 %rh
Reference value 2 35 %rh
Reference value 3 80 %rh
The value of the reference can be entered with the keypad. The attached probe shows the
current measured value. After entering the rst reference value (10 %rh), press OK to conrm
“Save & Continue” and enter the next reference value (35 %rh).
You can change the atmospheric pressure constant used in calculations in:
Main menu Settings Atmospheric pressure
5 SAVING DATA
5.1 HOLD/CAPTURE AND SPOT MEASUREMENTS
Freeze the displayed values on the home screen by pressing the [Hold/Capture] action button
on the home screen. Those values can then be:
• Saved as a spot measurement with [Capture]
• Released again with [Release]
5.2 DATA LOGGING
Program or start the automatic logging at regular interval with the [Log] action button. Dene
the storage location, the interval and, if you want, a star t and stop time, then start the logging
operation by pressing the [Start] action button.
Your device will be automatically switched on at the given start time to start the logging.
The main menu is not accessible while data logging is active. Spot measurements are,
however, still possible.
You must name storage locations before use. Simply use the [Rename] action button
when selecting a storage location to assign it a name.
