Hi there Todd
I=E2=80=99d be very interested in the settings though I have an EM3 and I= =E2=80=99m not sure of the difference between models 2 and 3.
Do you have all seperate senders for the Em2 and Dynon?

>=C2=A0 =C2=A0First as soon as I took a moment I realized that the J&= ;K thermocouple would be real easy to calibrate and convert to metric.
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0I used a Fluke temperature calibrator with a millivolt out= put to simulate the TC"s. Worked like a charm.
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0I tried to use the same calibrator to simulate the variabl= e resistance of the VDO probes, but they are thermistors which are very non= -linear, so even with the tables it was a challenge.
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0So I brought home a Fluke 9009 dual dry block temperature = calibrator. Good for -20=C2=B0C up to 350=C2=B0C at the same time (separate= temp wells).
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0That made it easy, fast and very accurate.
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0However, the one that I'm worried about is the OAT as = this one is also used to calculate TAS, HP, and "other readings".=

>=C2=A0 =C2=A0So if any of you metric blokes down under would like to do= this, I can post all the parameters which you can input to your own EM2 an= d it will get you close.
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0For very accurate calibration you would have to tweak them= a bit using a temperature calibrator.
