[Setup] → [Output Processing]
The temperatures corresponding to 4 and 20 mA can then be set (minimum
–40°C,
span 1000°C).
To minimise the the effects of temperature fluctuations, noise etc on the output

If required, Hold Processing can be applied by setting hold mode to Peak Hold or
Valley Hold and setting a hold period between 0 and 1200 seconds.
