Free New Application Notes Explain How to Use Thermocouples and RTDs to
Measure Temperature

December 17, 1993 - Austin, TX - National Instruments has published two new
application notes. "Measuring Temperature with Thermocouples" explains the
benefits of using thermocouples to measure temperature and how to avoid
common problems. The application note explains how to use cold-junction
compensation to neutralize the effects of parasitic thermocouples, how to
linearize thermocouple data, and how to configure thermocouples with SCXI
signal conditioning modules and plug-in data acquisition (DAQ) boards to
create a PC-based DAQ system. The application note also describes common
pitfalls users encounter while measuring temperatures with thermocouples.

"Measuring Temperature with RTDs" explains how scientists and engineers can
use the high accuracy and stability of resistance-temperature detectors
(RTDs) to measure temperatures over a wide temperature range. The
application note explains the relationship of resistance and temperature
in RTDs; how to use 2, 3, and 4-wire RTD configurations; and how to
configure RTDs, SCXI signal conditioning modules, and plug-in DAQ boards
to create a PC-based DAQ system.
