Before running a formal test with multiple resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, it is often necessary to calibrate and debug a data-acquisition system to verify basic functionality. The ...

To prevent inaccurate temperature measurements, CAS DataLoggers recommends using three-wire resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) to those taking temperature measurements using RTDs. These sensors ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Temperature is one of the most frequently measured physical quantities, and features prominently in many of our projects, from weather stations to 3D printers. Most commonly we’ll see thermistors, ...

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 ...

Editor's note: I am pleased to bring you an excellent RAQ by Yao Zhao, a product application engineer with the China design center in ADI Beijing. RTD (resistance temperature detectors) can provide ...
