-This is the raw tip reading in μV. Tip must be installed or reading will be high/inaccurate. At cool, the range of 700-1000 is normal for larger tips and ~1500 for smaller tips (TS80). This is used to evaluate the calibration routines.

This can be used with RTip for assessing temperature processing performance.
-### CHan
+### Han C
-This is the handle temperature or more accurately the reading of the Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) temperature sensor. This is expressed in °C x 10 (29.0 °C ambient should read as 290). Range of 200-400 (20-40 °C) is normal depending on how hot/cold the room is and how long power has been plugged in which warms the PCB further.
