If I recall correctly it has an auto calibration function.

Touch the exposed Junction to ice, you should read 32F/0C.

For example, the voltage for a type K thermocouple at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius is 1 millivolt....The voltage on a standard type K thermocouple should increase about 40 microvolts for every degree Celsius increase in temperature
I have a VOM that uses K type digital display, and the single chanal analog 0-1600 gage currently reading the back 3 cylinders on my truck.
