It looks like the temp adjust is analog (continuous) and not discrete. Is the only difference the inclusion of a digital readout?

The temperature adjustment is a dial. However, as you twist the knob, the digital readout will tell you the position (in degrees) where the knob is. So you are not blindly turning the knob. The soldering iron shows you what your target temperature is as you adjust it. Having said that, the unit that I bought was very poorly put together. It felt very cheap and wasn't what I was looking for. If you are even slightly serious about electronics, I would recommend you purchase and try Hakko.

Unable to answer this question as I have not use this feature, but would asume Temp is read in Deg's F, since other meters I have used read in Deg's F.

temp probe is very accurate to a tenth degree. don't if it's unique to the unit but then You don't need another one.

It is a slide control. There are not any temperature numbers on the control. It is a Minimum, Halfway point, and Maximum setting.

Yes, the picture is correct. The temp. readings are in both 'F' & 'C'. The temps. are shown all the way around. The outer temps. are shown as 'F' and the inner temps. are shown as 'C'. Quite satisfied with ours!!

I received the FX-888 with the knob for temp control, my friend has the digital version but does not like it as much... harder to calibrate he says. Hope that helps.

It is not digital reading. It does work with the hydor 75w hydrokable substrate heater.

It records the highest and lowest temperatures received from each of the two probes since the last reset. (Each are reported separately.) When you press the reset button, both high/low readings revert to "---" until it receives another update from the probes. I check this often and press the reset each time to ensure the receiver is getting updates. As I said in my review, the only issue with this is that it does not alarm if it fails to get an update from the probes for a long time. That should be addressed in the design and I hope they make that improvement and add an indication of missing data so you don't think wrongly that the alarm was due to exceeding a limit.

the temperature probe is on the back of the unit. you can leave it down or open it in the upward position, it works well in in both positions. The display is digital and is very easy to program or you can change the settings manually.

It has a temp setting on the unit but not digital but a dial its accurate as I did buy a thermometer as well All I did to install was taped the probe to the wall and screwed the controller to the back set the temp and plugged it in

The top temperature is the "setting"--you turn the dial to place the marker over what temperature you desire. The bottom reading is the actual temperature. If it is not working, make sure you have the right wires hooked up and adjuste for the type of heating system you have.

I have not checked its accuracy against other thermometers. I do know the unit functions well and i have had no issues with it. I use it to switch on and off an incondesant light bulb that heats a small space where a control unit for a lumber kiln is. The manufacturer recommends that it not be exposed to temperatures less than 40 degrees. So right now, it is not doing anything but reading a fairly high temp and keeping the circuit open.

Upon trying both the P and basic Auto settings, fixed on the same object and distance without changing any settings, I found no appreciable difference between these two memory cards, Otaku. Both cards took about three seconds to process the image in raw file format. Shot through a window, the ambient indoor temp at the glass was 66 degrees fahrenheit.

Last year the temp held true. But it is very hard to read the little thermometer in the unit. This year it was really hard to get the temp right. Perhaps if I found a secondary digital thermometer I might have had better luck.

looking at these items on ebay - the main difference seems to be dial control or digital control. My original one was a digital control (not like this new model) and honestly the problem I had was the digital button broke and I couldn't control heat. That is why I chose the dial this time

if i remember this oven is digital...the lower numbers are the celsius. So if you are looking at the recipes some are written in celscius instead of farenheight. if its a lower than normal number odds are its in celcius. There should be a conversion table in most cookbooks,etc. Its about a 40% difference. Some oven have dials on them w/ on celicus on them. on this one it only goes up to 260 degrees on the digital moniter which is about equal to 450 degrees. Try to find a conversion table.

I have not encountered temperature variance. It keeps my wife from constantly raising and lowering the setting.
