Thermocouple Channels
Refer to Table 3-6 to configure a thermocouple channel. Thermocouple types R and S
have optional correction polynomial coefficients to be entered. The correction equation is
as follows:
3 2
3 2 1 0 t C t C t C C V
+ + + = Δ
where t is the temperature in °C and
Δ
V is the correction in millivolts. If the correction is
not used, leave the coefficients set to 0.
