- the display section 105 composed of the LCD is configured as shown in FIG. In other words, in the normal or black body furnace measurement mode (for 0.1 digit), 0.1 digit is displayed as shown in Fig. 28 (a), and the rightmost segment displays the temperature unit "". .
- the rightmost segment is composed of 7 segments like the left digit, and when measuring the blackbody furnace in the blackbody furnace measurement mode (for the 0.01 digit), as shown in Fig. 28 (b) 0.0 1 digit is displayed, and the rightmost segment can display the 0.0 1 digit.
- Fig. 29 shows the procedure for performing blackbody furnace measurement with 0.0 single digit display.
- the processing procedure is almost the same as in the case of the black body furnace measurement for normal 0.1 digit shown in Fig. 23, so only the different parts will be described.
- the board jumper switch for 0.01 digit (step 72).
- the blackbody furnace measurement mode selection display is made by a 0.1 digit display as shown in Fig. 28 (a).
- Step 74 the temperature unit display disappears and the black-body furnace measurement mode selection display for 0.01 digit is displayed.
- the 0.01-digit measurement result is displayed. (Step 77).
