Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) are temperature sensors that contain a resistor that alters resistance value as its temperature changes. For many years, RTDs have been used to measure ...

Temperature sensors are an effective way to measure temperature, but which should you use, and for which application? Sensors expert Moore Industries shares some tips. A very efficient way to measure ...

This software-controlled RTD emulator produces voltages that cover the output range of the sensor. It supports all three RTD wiring configurations and associated sense-wire configurations. Before ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

A simple C library for reading data from Atlas Scientific's EZO RTD sensor with the I2C protocol. Atlas Scientific's EZO RTD sensor is a temperature sensor accessible through serial or I2C. They ...

Although not every temperature application is a high-accuracy mea¬surement, best practices can be applied to eliminate sensor drift at the start of an installation. This helps users achieve optimal ...

Most people have heard the phrase “Birds of a feather flocktogether,” which describes people who have similar characteristicsor interests and choose to spend time together.Is it possible that some ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

RTD sensors will never exhibit behavior based on theoretical ideals, but understanding the fundamentals behind transmitter-sensor matching will enhance their accuracy Temperature is the most common ...
