Aquaero/Aquasuite temperature sensor calibration?

Does anyone know how to go about using this screen in the Aquasuite to calibrate the sensors?

For example: if the real temperature is 20°C but the aquaero shows 22°C than set the offset to -2,0K.

Thanks Shoggy

What is the sensor factor? I saw in the manual a reference to a (44,15 - Factor) as used in the Aquaero internal temp calculation. What is the 44,15 referred to and does this relate to the Factor adjustment in the Aquasuite?

Do you know what the tolerance is on the temp sensors? Or what the manufactuer and part number is for the sensors? I want to use sensors that have like + or - 0.1 C tolerance is they aren't to unreasonably priced (can these be ordered from AC?).

Next question...someone must have an answer here?

Specifically what is the resolution of the Aquaero sensor headers?

I can get NTC sensors that have +/- 0.2 C capability, but it would be a waste of money and time if the Aquaero can only accurately sense +/- 1 C.

No one knows the Aquaero design specs on the temp headers? :-/

as far as i remember is the resolution of the senors 0,1°C

Thanks for the answer. :-*

Is that +/- 0.1 C of the sensors themselves or the accuracy of the Aquaero itself?

Also I need to know what the resistance is at 25C? My source says that it is typically 10K Ohms, but there are 1K and 5K units out there.

I just calibrated my sensors (two liquid and one external). They were all 6,0 C to 7,4 C off to the plus while in an ice bath. Is this normal? Here are the corrected temps.
