Temperature Sensor Circuit Diagram

The circuit diagram in Figure 4 is optional information that you can use if 
you want more details about the TC-2095 temperature sensor.

Temperature Sensor Circuit Diagram

Configuring the Resistor Networks

When using an SCXI-1102/B/C, you can use the package of 10 M

Ω 

resistor 

networks included in the BNC/TC-2095 kit. You can install these resistor 
networks as RP1, RP2, RP3, and RP4. Refer to Figure 3 for the locations 
of RP<1...8>. If you use this configuration and you have the 
ground-referencing switch powered on, the thermocouples or signals with 
low-impedance sources (less than 100 

) either float without affecting the 

measurement or are ground-referenced.

Figure 5 shows how the pull-up and ground-referencing resistors are 
connected to the CH± inputs of the SCXI module.
