Cryo-con Model 24C

Specifications, Features and Functions

Performance Summary

Measurement Accuracy

Diode Sensors

The formulas for computing measurement accuracy while using diode sensors are:

Where:

MAV is the electronic Measurement Accuracy in Volts
MAT is the Measurement Accuracy in Kelvin
SenRdg is the sensor reading in Volts at the desired temperature.
SenSen is the sensor sensitivity in Volts / Kelvin at the desired temperature.

For example, to calculate the measurement accuracy of the Model 24C using a Cryo-
con S900 sensor at 10K, look up  the sensor reading and sensitivity in the S900 data 
table in 

Appendix G

. At 10K, SenRdg is 1.36317 Volts and SenSen is 0.002604 

Volts/Kelvin . Therefore,

and

The result is MAV = 128

V and MAT = 49mK.
