On the safety of the connection, please read the “safety

instructions” in front of.
3.5 Instructions on Accuracy
Output connection method of four wire resistance：
C512 support to the non-constant current method (4 wire system) to

measure the instrument and meter to provide resistance signal. At wiring
method, in addition to according to the wiring method [Figure 3.4] to
connect three pens, also need to show in figure "H： positive output end
(+)" again in a red pen line (model MPC100BR can buy a separate), in
order to achieve the four wire resistance output.
 Factors affecting the accuracy of resistance output：
Resistance signal output is more sensitive, the main factors affecting
the output accuracy is the lead resistance, contact resistance, etc..
Pen, pen holder, and the use of line equipment in the loop resistance
will have an impact on the output precision.
Therefore, please be sure to use the model for MPC100BB (black),
and MPC100BR (red) pen line, model MPC103BB (black), and
MPC103BR (red) is the pen clip.
Because the line pen and pen holder will often plug and repeatedly
used holding, the frequent use will have an impact on the contact
resistance, it is suggested that regular calibration of C512.
When using C512, you should also pay attention to the range of the
excitation current and the impact on the accuracy of the resistance
profile (see the next item on this page).
 The relationship between the output accuracy and the excitation

current in the output of the resistance and the heat resistance：
C512 resistance output in the factory calibration, the use of 400 1mA
drive current, 4K files using 0.1mA drive current. If the C512 is used
to carry out the resistance output or the heat resistance output, it is
possible to cause an inherent deviation if the excitation current of the
measuring instrument is different from the above mentioned current
value. This deviation is almost constant in the whole output range. If
you need to use a higher precision, you can set the correction term,
in the resistance output and the thermal resistance of the output to
remove this inherent deviation (set method see [5.4.2] section of the
parameter setting method). Note ： when the excitation current
changes, the correction term may need to be adjusted. In the use of
C512, also need to pay attention to the resistance profile of the
excitation current range and the impact on the accuracy of.
This section on the resistance of the output accuracy of the

description, see [5.3.8] section on the output of the detailed
description of the resistance.
Please pay attention to the following problems as the

calibration and inspection tools used in the production line：
 Power Supply：
Each portable high-precision signal generator need to use separate
a dedicated AC / DC power adapter MPC-DK-9.5V-B, cannot use 1
AC / DC power adapter to power multiple C512, otherwise will lead to
instrument output function abnormal or damaged.
 Calibration：
Due to the factors mentioned above, it is recommended to do the
local calibration on the job. In particular, when the resistance signal
output is involved, the signal of the final output of the resistance
signal should be based on the work and the local calibration.
 Dynamic Response Time：

Signal switching and change the output value of the dynamic process,
the signal jitters.
Therefore, if the target device needs to be continuously measured, it
is required to do a certain delay after switching the C512 signal and
changing the output value.

The setting value of upper and lower limit for mA Sink and the
step span value were all consistent with the mA Source.
5.3.8 Output resistance
Notice：
 The Resistance output of C512 was applicable to the target device
(measuring instrument, such as a resistance table) in resistance
measurement by the method of excitation current "I":
When C512 was connected with such an equipment, a
corresponding voltage "V=R×I" would be produced between the
output terminals of C512 according to the excitation current signal "I"
appearing from the target device, so as to simulate the production of
a corresponding equivalent resistance "R=V／I".
 C512 could accept the excitation current signal "I" coming from the
target device in a allowable range of 0.1 ~ 3mA. Different resistance
stalls and different resistance ranges had different requirements for
the excitation current, which could be seen in [ Table 2.2] for the
detailed description of the relationship between the accuracy of the
resistance and the excitation current.
 All resistance signals output by C512 did not contain lead wire
resistance. In order to output accurate resistance signals, the 3-wire
or 4-wire connection method was recommended to be used.
 The factory calibration of C512 was calibrated by the 4-wire
connection method.
 The capacitance between the terminals of the target device should
be reduced as far as possible, otherwise, it might lead to an unstable
resistance signal produced by C512.
 Factors affecting the accuracy of resistance output：
 Resistance signal output was relatively sensitive, and main factors
that affected the output accuracy were lead wire resistance, contact
resistance, etc.. Meter pen wire, Meter pen folder and the whole loop
resistance of the equipment would affect the output accuracy.
Therefore, made sure to use the model of MPC100BB (black)
MPC100BR (red) meter pen wire with the model of MPC103BB
(black) and MPC103BR (red) meter pen folder.
 Since the meter pen wire and meter pen fouler were often plugged,
pulled and repeatedly grasped, which would affect the contact
resistance, so it was suggested to calibrate C512 regularly .
 In the factory calibration of C512 resistor output, 400Ω was
corresponding to the excitation current of 1mA, 4KΩ was
corresponding to the excitation current of 0.1mA. When C512 was
used for resistance output or thermal resistance output, if the
excitation current of measuring instrument was different from the
above current value, it was likely to cause an inherent deviation. This
deviation was substantially constant in the whole output range. If it
needed higher precision you could set the correction term to remove
this inherent deviation in the resistance output (see parameter setting
method in [5.4.2] section). Note: when the excitation current changed,
the correction term might need to be adjusted. When C512 was used,
the attention should be paid to the excitation current range of
resistance and its influence on the accuracy.

Step1: The key of Ω was used to switch to the resistance output
function, and this key was again pressed to switch between
400Ω and 4kΩ; the content would be displayed with appropriate
prompting characters. The default output values after switching
signal: 400Ω was corresponding to 100Ω, 4kΩ was
corresponding to 1kΩ.
Step2：The key of 0~9 +/- ● CLEAR was used to coordinate the
input current value that needed to be output. If the set value
automatically convert to the value of upper / lower limit. When
the set value was modified, the status was displayed as ●● ● .
Step3：The key of ENTER was pressed to confirm the output, then
the display status changed to ENTER and C512 output
resistance signal according to the present setting value.
Step4：New resistance value could be output by repeating [step 2 and
step 3]. In the process of setting the new resistance value, the
output signal would remain the setting value of the last
resistance.

5.3.9 thermal: analog thermal resistance output
Notice：
 The principle of analog thermal resistance was as same as that of
resistance output.
 The accuracy of different output temperature segments was different.
 The information of accuracy, excitation current, lead resistance and
temperature scale, etc., could be seen from the description of
thermal resistance in [table 2.2].
 All resistance signals output by C512 did not include lead resistance.
In order to output the precise resistance signals, 3-wire or 4-wire
connection was suggested to be used.
 The output accuracy of the thermal resistance output for C512 was
depended on calibration accuracy of the resistance. In the factory
calibration, PT100 and Cu50 used the excitation current of 1mA, and
PT1000 used the excitation current of 0.1mA. When C512 was used
for analog thermal resistance output, if the excitation current of
measuring instrument was different from the above current value, it
was likely to cause an inherent deviation. This deviation was
substantially constant in the whole output range. If it needed higher
precision you could set the correction term to remove this inherent
deviation in the resistance output (see parameter setting method in
[5.4.2] section（parameter R1inA and R2inA）, and notice that the unit
of the correction parameter was Ω). Note: when the excitation current
changed, the correction term might need to be adjusted. When C512
was used, the attention should be paid to the excitation current range
of resistance and its influence on the accuracy.
Step1: The key of RTD was used to switch to the thermal resistance
output function, and it was still pressed to switch among PT100,
PT1000, Cu50; The content was displayed correspondingly
with prompting character. The default output value after
switching signal:

set value exceeded the upper / lower limit, the display would

Step4 ： New temperature setting value could be output by repeating
[step 2 and step 3]. In the process of setting the new thermal
resistance temperature value, the output signal would remain

5.3.10 thermal: Analog thermocouple output
Inserting and pulling for cold junction sensor should be operated

after power off, and it should be sure not to be pulled and inserted at
boot status.
Notice:（instructions for Cold junction sensor（type：MPC101B））
 If the portable precision signal generator did not connect to cold
junction sensor when it simulated the output of thermocouple, the
output thermocouple signal was managed according to the method
that 0℃ was used as a reference node compensation (ie: without
cold junction compensation). If it was output by a reference node
compensation not at 0 ℃, it should connect with the cold junction
sensor.
 Temperature measuring range of cold junction sensor: -55~+125℃
 Accuracy was ± 0.5 ℃ in the range of -10 ~ + 85 ℃
 Accuracy was ± 2 ℃ in the entire range
 The output accuracy of analog thermocouple could be seen in [table
2.2] for the description of thermocouple, which did not contain cold
junction compensation.
 Thermocouple signal was added to the cold junction compensation,
the range of the voltage output was still -10mV~110mV.
 When C512 was plugged with the cold junction sensor, the sensor
status symbol " Sensor " would be lit in left and lower corner of the
screen, as shown in [figure 3.2] as the "g".
 After re-boot and switching signal and gear, the default output
state was not corresponding to cold junction compensation. You could
press the key of MODE to turn to the output mode of automatic cold
junction compensation.
 The automatic cold junction compensation was divided into two
compensation types: fixed compensation mode and compensation
mode of real-time refreshing .
①. Fixed compensation mode：
The temperature value of initial cold junction compensation was
output by simulating thermocouple signal, in accordance with
the cold junction compensation for temperature value by
pressing the output button. When output was confirmed, even if
the cold junction temperature value changed, the output value
was unchanged.
②. Compensation mode with real time refreshing:
The temperature value of initial cold junction compensation was
output by simulating thermocouple signal, in accordance with
the cold junction compensation for temperature value by
pressing the output button. When output was confirmed, if the
cold junction temperature value changed, the output value
would change with cold junction temperature.
In this mode, it should be noticed:
Real time refreshing Time parameter of cold junction temperature
value could be set, and the parameter setting method could be
seen in [5.4.2] section (parameter tCoLd).
Cold junction temperature with real time refreshing took effect in the
simulation of thermal resistance output,and when the output
value changed in the dynamic process, the signal also shook
accordingly. Therefore, with the demand for measuring
equipment, refresh rate (parameter tCold) should not be set too
fast.
Step1: The key of mV TC was used to switch to the thermocouple
TCTC
output function, and it was still pressed to switch among the
thermocouple types: K，E，J，T，R，B，S，N; The content
was displayed correspondingly with prompting character.
The default output value after switching signal was the
temperature value corresponding to 0mV.
（ Note: the key of mV TC could also be used for switching
TCTC
signal to DC voltage mV output, which could be seen in [5.3.5]
section）。
Step2：After the signal and the gear position were switched, the default
output state was not the cold junction compensation. Please
press the key of MODE to switch to the mode of automatic cold
junction compensation for the analog thermocouple output.
the cold junction compensation status in the upper left corner of
the screen was showed by lightening a symbol "AUTO" (such
as "h" shown in [figure 3.2]), indicating that the current output
contained a cold junction compensation; if not, it indicated that
no cold junction compensation was contained.

(Whether the current output had the cold junction compensation
could be judged by whether the screen displayed "AUTO"
character).
Step 5: if the compensation mode was set as a real-time refresh
compensation mode (determined by the tCoLd parameter), the
screen would display the "RJ" characters, which would flash
when the data refreshed.
Step6 ： New temperature setting value could be output by repeating
[step 3 and step 4]. In the process of setting the new thermal
resistance temperature value, the output signal would remain
the setting value of last time.

Step 8: in the thermocouple output state, the key of SWITCH could be

pressed to display the temperature measurement value of
present cold junction sensor. At this time, the secondary display
area of upper row displayed the word of "cold", and the
character " Sensor " in the upper left corner flashed.

example 3: Output temperature of simulated K thermocouple was

1000 ℃, requiring a cold junction compensation, and the cold
junction compensation refreshed in real-time with refreshing
interval of 60 seconds. (cold junction temperature was 25 ℃)
Step1： The tCoLd parameter was first set as 60 (the tCoLd
parameter was set to the value of non 9999. When it return to
the normal output state, the display was prompted with a
word of RJ, such as the "k"shown in figure [3.2] ).
Step2：the key of mV TC was used to switch to the thermocouple
TCTC
gear of type K.
Step3：Under the premise that the cold junction sensor was confirmed
to be well inserted, the key of MODE was pressed to
switch to the output mode of automatic cold junction
compensation. (character of AUTO was shown for prompt,
such as “h” shown in figure [3.2]).
Step 4: The key of 0~9 ● CLEAR was used to coordinate with
the output temperature value modified to 1000℃.
Step 5: The key of ENTER was pressed to confirm the output.
The internal processing method for the corresponding mV
value of analog thermocouple output was as follows:
Actual output mV = corresponding mV at the set temperature
- corresponding mV at the cold junction temperature
Actual output mV = corresponding mV at 1000℃-
corresponding mV at 25℃
Actual output mV = 41.276 mV – 1.000 mV
Actual output mV = 40.276 mV
Step 6: After the output, for every 60 seconds, the output value was
recalculated according to the current cold junction
temperature and refreshed the output. When the output was
refreshed, the RJ character flashed for prompt.
The following sections [5.3.11~5.3.13] described the output operation

for the signal with frequency type
5.3.11 Output of frequency signal
The display and operation mode of frequency signals were relatively

more special. Please refer to the following contents for the correct
operation of C512, so as to output the correct pulse or switch signal.
Frequency signals were divided into the following types:
Signal type prompt Subtype

Table 5.10 Sub types of frequency signals
Step1: The key of Hz was used to switch to the output function of
frequency signal, and by continuing to press this key to switch
between the pulse output and the switch output.
The resolution ability of the output frequency for the pulse and
the switching signal was matched adaptive, and the specific
output range, resolution and precision were in [table 2.2]:
The set value of the current key input exceeded the upper and
lower limits of the allowable range, then the modified value
displayed changing directly to the corresponding upper and
lower limit value;
If the setting value of the current key input value exceeded the
allowable resolution limit (i.e., the allowable number after the
decimal point), the key input was locked, and the value
exceeding the maximum resolution was not allowed to input.
Step 2: in the operation state of frequency signals, the key of SWITCH

could be pressed to switch between the modified contents:

Chapter [5.3.11] made an overall introduction of the

frequency signal output, and the following chapters [5.3.12]
and [5.3.13] made a detailed description for the pulse output
and switching value.
5.3.12 Frequency signal: pulse output
Characteristics of C512 output pulse signal:

square wave; duty ratio 50%; pulse amplitude 1~10Vp-p; Low power
level was 0V; the precision of electrical level was 10%. Load > 100kΩ.
Step 1: the key of Hz was used to switch to the pulse output

function, the top row showed "Hz", (shown in "C" part in [Figure
3.2])
frequency range（Hz） Resolution ability

2.00 ~ 99.99 0.01Hz
100.0 ~ 999.9 0.5Hz
1000 ~ 10000 100Hz
Table 5.12 Resolution of frequency signals in different frequency bands
Step 2: First, When "-F-" was displayed on the upper row, the key of
0~9 ● CLEA was used to coordinate with the input of
R
frequency value that needed to be output. If the setting value
automatically change to upper / lower limit frequency value.
Frequency resolution adaptive matched according to the input
frequency of keys. If the set value of current input keys
exceeded the allowable resolution limit, the key input would be
locked (input frequency value was less than 1000); or
automatically matched the current gear during the output
process (input frequency value was equal to or greater than
1000).
Step 3: The key of SWITCH was used to switch the current
modification content to pulse amplitude: "-Pv-" (displaying on
upper row). Then the key of 0~9 ● CLEAR was used to
coordinate with the input pulse amplitude (V) that needed to be
output . Set the range of 1.00V ~ 10.00V; if the value exceeded
upper / lower limit, display would automatically transform into
upper / lower limit.
（If the pulse amplitude parameters were not modified, the default
amplitude value of pulse output was 1V）.
Step 4: If you wanted to output the default number of pulse signals,
please continue to use the key of SWITCH to switch the
current modification content to the number of pulses: "CYCLE"
(Upper Display). Then the key of 0~9 CLEAR was used to
coordinate with the output pulse number that needed to be
output, and the allowable setting range was from 10 to 99999.
If you wanted to output continuous pulses, be sure to ensure that the
"CYCLE" parameter was set to "CONT", which could be
achieved by pressing the key of CLEAR .
Step 5: The key of ENTER was pressed to confirm the output,
and the display state changed from ●●● to ENTER ,

frequency value and the pulse amplitude (continuous pulse or
according to a preset pulse number by the output method seen
in [step 4]).
Step 6: Dueing the process of pulse output for C512, the button of MODE
could be pressed to stop the pulse output, " "symbol flashed
several times for prompt.
5.3.13 Frequency signal: switching output
Characteristics of switching value output by C512：

Maximum switching current and voltage：+28V∕50mA
Step 1: the key of Hz was used to switch to the switching output
function, and the top row showed "SW", (displayed in the "C" part of
[Figure 3.2] ):
frequency range（Hz） Resolution
2.00 ~ 99.99 0.01Hz
100.0 ~ 999.9 0.5Hz
1000 ~ 10000 100Hz
Table 5.13 Resolution of frequency signals in different frequency bands
Step 2: first of all, “-F-” was displayed on the upper row by using the key
of 0~9 ● CLEAR to coordinate with the input of switching
frequency that needed to be output. If the set value exceeded
upper / lower limit, the display would automatically transform
into upper / lower limit of the frequency value.
Frequency resolution adaptive matched with the input
frequency of the keys. If the set value input by the current keys
exceeded the allowable resolution limit, the input keys were
locked (input frequency value was less than 1000); or output
automatically matched with current gear resolution (input
frequency value was greater than or equal to 1000)
Step 3: if you hoped to output a preset number of switch signals, please
continue to use the key of SWITCH to switch the current
revision content to switching times: "CYCLE" (displayed on
upper row). And then the key of 0~9 CLEAR was used to
coordinate the input switch number that needed to be output.
The allowable set range was 10~99999. (
If you wanted to output switching value continuously, be sure to
ensure that the "CYCLE" parameter was set as "cont", and it
could be achieved by the key of CLEAR .)
Step4：The key of ENTER was pressed to confirm the output,
and the display state changed from ●● ● to ENTER , C512
output switch value according to current set frequency value
(methods for switch continuous output or in accordance with the
presupposition of the switching times could refer to [step 3]).
Step 5: In the process of switch output for C512, pulse output could be
stopped by pressing the key of MODE , and the symbol of
" " flashed several times for prompt.
5.3.14 Common output value for storager

calibration. The calibration of resistance signal could be according to
the actual demand to choose connection mode of 2 wire, 3 wire, 4 wire
system.
Step 1：With reference to the section of [5.4.1], the password was set as
1111. After confirmation, the instrument was in the output
calibration state, as shown in [figure 5.11].
Step 2:The key of V mV TC mA Ω in the region of “function
keys for switching output signal types” was pressed to switch to
the desired calibration signal type and gear, and the
corresponding parameter menu referred to [table 5.15].
Step 3：The key of SWITCH was pressed at the signal type and gear
that needed the calibration to switch the high and low calibration
points for the corresponding signal types (H/L). The flashing
prompt of " " were used to indicate the current modification
parameters, as shown in [figure 5.11].
Step4：The Key of CLEAR was pressed to enter the modification
status of calibration value at the high or low calibration point for
corresponding signal types as shown in [figure 5.12].
Step 5：In the modification state of calibration value, the key of SWITCH
was pressed to switch calibration modification of DA code value

directly quit from the calibration status by only pressing the key
of MODE . Display would directly return to the status of
calibration parameter menu as shown in [figure 5.11].
Step 11：In the status of calibration parameter menu, the key of SETUP
was pressed for 2 seconds and then it returned to the normal
operation state.
Example 7: An attempt to accurately calibrate the high point calibration
value of 100mV for the mV gear:
Step1： With reference to the method in the [5.4.1] section, it first
entered the status of calibration menu with the password of
1111, then the key of mV TC was pressed to switch to the
mV signal type.
Srep2： According to the instructions of the flashing ► arrow, the
current calibration point was selected:：
The key of SWITCH was pressed to select the mV signal peak
calibration value in the upper row.
Step3： The key of CLEAR was pressed to enter the modification
state of the mV signal high point calibration value.
Step4： According to the instructions of the flashing ► arrow, the
current modification content was selected:
The key of SWITCH was pressed to choose the modification of the
physical value in the lower row, and by pressing the key of
0~9 +/- ● CLEAR to modify the high point physical
value as 100mV.
Step5: The key of SWITCH was pressed to choose the modification
of the DA code value in the upper row. The key of ◄ ►
was pressed to shift the position. the key of
▲ ▼ was
pressed to modify the DA code value, and the output
confirmation key of ENTER was pressed to output the
corresponding mV value.
Step6: by observing the high precision digital meter which measured
the mV output of C512, the measured mV value was
checked and judged whether it was equal to 100mV, and
the DA code value most close to 100mV was chosen as the
standard value. Then the key of STORE was pressed until
the display returned to the status of calibration parameter
menu for mV signal. High point of mV gear finished the
calibration.
※ The above signal calibration did not include the frequency signal
calibration. The frequency value of the frequency signal did not need
to be calibrated. When it related to the pulse amplitude of the pulse
signal, it was based on the calibration result of the 10V voltage gear.
Points for attention：

⑴ The selection of calibration lows and highs should be determined
by the actual range of the signal that had to be output. Generally, it
could set the actual range of the desired output signal at low point
of 10% and high point of 90% .
⑵ When the output signal was mV signal, the low point should be set
above 0mV during the calibration process, and the recommended
value was 1mV; the negative mV value should not be selected as the
calibration point, because C512 and external calibration equipment all
could be affected by the thermocouple effect.
⑶ The thermal resistance and thermocouple signals need not be
calibrated separately, and the accuracy was dependent on the
calibration accuracy of the the resistance gear and the mV gear of the
DC voltage：
Signal type Signal type Dependent calibration signal

PT100 resistance 400Ω
Thermal resistance PT1000 resistance 4kΩ
Cu50 resistance 400Ω
K/E/J/T/R/B/S
Thermocouple DC voltage mV
/N
Table 5.16 the signal type that was needed in the actual calibration for the
thermal signal.
⑷ In the output of the thermal signal (thermal resistance, thermocouple),
the selection of the calibration low point and high point for the
correspondingly dependent calibration signal should referred to the
allowable setting temperature range according to [table 2.2].
Example 8: if you needed to output the entire range of K type
thermocouple from -200.0 ℃ ~1300.0℃，the indexing table of
the K type thermocouple thermocouple should be checked, and
the mV range of the the temperature range was
-5.89mV~52.41mV. Then the low point and high point of the mV
signal that was needed for the calibration could be based on the
range of the mV value. For example, the high point of 53mV and
low point of 1mV were calibrated.
⑸ In order to increase the output accuracy, the low point and high point
for the calibration should be as close as possible to the desired output
range.
⑹ In the calibration of the resistance gear, due to the use of the principle
of electronic synthesized resistor for resistance output function, the
output resistance value was negative for the part of Da code value
close to zero, and the high precision digital table could be used to
measure this negative value of the resistance. Please check after the
0Ω point after the calibration, and the negative resistance value
should not appear on the 0Ω point, otherwise it might cause problems
in the actual use.
When the battery power was too low, the calibration should not be
done, otherwise it might lead to a larger deviation of the accuracy.
In order to ensure safety in the calibration, the wiring connection
must be carried out after the power off.
5.4.3 Query instrument serial number and restore factory setting
1. Query table serial number：
Referring to [5.4.1] section, the password was set as 9999. After the
confirmation, the unique Serial ID of each C512 could be seen, as
shown in [figure 5.13].
Figure 5.13 Query state of machine serial ID

The machine serial ID shown in above figure was 12-34-56-78-9, and
each C512 had its unique serial ID
Usage of the instrument serial ID：

When C512 had failure or you had some relative questions to consult
the manufacturer, you could reply to the manufacturer for the serial ID,
so as to provide factory information to the manufacturer for tracing the
instrument.
2. Factory reset：
According to the [5.4.1] section, the password was set as 7310. After
the confirmation, the instrument entered the query screen of the factory
reset status:
Figure 5.14 Query screen of the factory reset status

Upper row: initialization of the indicator "init"
lower row: whether to restore the factory status: 0： not， 1：yes
The key of ▲ ▼ was pressed to enter the parameter modification

status for the recovery of the factory status, and the number "0"
flashed; then by pressing the key of CLEAR to modify the flashing
number into "1"; after pressing the key of STORE the flashing location
no longer flashed.
Then the the power button was pressed to shut down and the power
button was pressed again to boot, and parameters in the backup
parameter area were restored to the main parameter area by C512.
Instrument parameters are returned to the default state in [table 5.14]
and the common output storage was cleared.
Afterwards, C512 could be normally operated and used, and the 7310
parameter was no longer needed to be intervened.
Factory setting recovery should be used carefully!
6.Information of version number

Version number and function upgrade project of C512 host computer：
◆ C512-V3.0： initial version of host software for the portable high
precision signal generator
※ Other functions of C512 and its accessory instruction：
 Portable high precision signal generator supported the thermocouple

signal output by compensation method with the datum node at
temperature not at 0℃. Cold junction sensor should be bought
separately (model: MPC101B).
 Load capacity of DC current output gear mA source of C512 was 19V.
If the user required that the load capacity was more than 1K @20mA
for the current C512 instrument, it was recommended for the user to
switch to the function of mA Sink. It was used with external power.
The outer power supplied for this function should best use linear
power and internal loss (= power supply voltage × set current - load
resistance × set current) must be less than 0.5W. It could also
achieve the requirement that users needed the passive isolator to
supply power in back-end and the application of adjusting current.
 Portable high precision signal generator did not have communication
function. If the communication operation was needed for C512 (such
as: the calibration and verification on the production line controlled
by the unified RS485 communication network), the C512 should be
chosen as the type of standard high precision signal generator.
 High precision signal generator with standard type had the infrared
communication function, and it could achieve the two-way
communication with computers by using an infrared isolation
converter. It also supported the use of RS485 network and easily
realized instrument calibration, settings, output and other functions.
 (It needed to buy a separate infrared -RS485 communication
converter (model: MPC485IR104A))
 Detailed instruction could refer to product selection, user manual of
the standard high precision signal generator, user manual of infrared
-RS485 communication converter and other product information.
（ Corrections were made at any time, so please use the latest version
for consulting.）
