Since we're touching on this subject, how do you configure the "other" types of wires apart from Ni200, SS316, & Ti01 on your DNA200 mods via escribe? I just got a VT200 and the latest version of escribe but got stuck after that.
PS: I just want to add Nichrome 80/20 coz I have quite some lengths of those left.
Thanks.

I've never used Nichrome but it's my understanding it's not a TC wire because it's TCR is too small, much like Kanthal's. I believe you have to run it in straight power mode. I basically just run SS 430 nowadays but I set up a Kanthal profile where I disabled TC in the general Tab in Escribe. I did that by selecting the profile I wanted to use for Kanthal (I loaded a custom Kanthal screen for the profile picture), then checked the off box under temperature. Just straight power mode, no temperature control. Don't forget to press the Upland Settings to Device tab at the top of Escribe after making changes.
To add a new TC wire you can download the TFR table from Steam Engine as a CSV file to your PC located
here. Click on the drop-down box and select the material you are interested in. Then click on the DNA200 tab and finally the download TFR table as CSV tab (pay attention to where you are saving it to on your PC).
Then go to your material tab and click on the + button to add a new material. Then you would click on the un-named material you just added, then click the next button to the right of the + tab which is the open material button. Then navigate to where it (the CSV file) was saved on your PC and click on the CSV file and open. That's the way to add a curve instead of a single TCR number. Hope that wasn't confusing. That's the way I do it. It names it for you from the CSV file.
Cheers,

PS Here's a
link to where you can download a ton of custom screens and themes. It's on Google drive and sometime I get a 500 error, just refresh and it will eventually load.
