Instruction 14: Thermocouple Temperature, Differential
Measurement
This instruction calculates the thermocouple temperature for the thermocouple
type selected. The instruction makes a differential voltage measurement on the
thermocouple, adds the measured voltage to the voltage calculated for the refer-
ence temperature relative to 0
o
C, and converts the combined voltage to
temperature in
o
C. The differential inputs are briefly shorted to ground before
making the voltage measurement to ensure that they are within the common mode
range. Table 9-4 gives the thermocouple type codes for parameter 4. Entering a 9
in front of the type code causes the CR10X to make an additional check on
common mode range; -99999 is output for temperature if the common mode range
is exceeded.
If you want to apply the Campbell Scientific polynomials to a millivolt value in
an input location without using the measurement part of Instruction 14, you
should index parameter 3 (the input channel number). The input location where
the thermocouple output (mV) is located is now defined by parameter 3. The
thermocouple must be measured with Instruction 2.
