Channel Configuration, Data, and Status
5–7
Proportional Counts Data Format – If the user selects proportional counts
data format, the data word for that channel is a number between –32,768 and
32,767. This provides the greatest resolution of all scaling options. The
value –32,768 corresponds to the lowest temperature value of the RTD type
or the lowest resistance value (ohms). The value 32,767 corresponds to the
highest temperature value for that RTD or the highest resistance value
(ohms). For example, if a 100
Ω
Platinum RTD (3916) is selected, then the
relationship of temperature and module counts is:

Figure 5.3 shows the linear relationship between output counts and
temperature when one uses proportional counts data format.
