B-1 

Appendix B.  Example Program 

In this example, 25 type T thermocouples are connected to the AM25T. One 

AM25T()

 instruction will measure the AM25T PRT and the thermocouples. 

This program is written for the CR6 datalogger. Other CRBasic data loggers 

are programmed similarly. TABLE 

B-1

 shows the wiring used with the 

example.
