923 milliK manual - issue: 1.10

3.2.1 Configuring milliK to Measure Temperature with a Thermistor

Firstly the thermistor and its calibration details must be entered into the milliK’s thermometer

database (see section 3.9.1), the thermistor will then appear in the ‘Thermometer’ list. Press

the

Settings

(F3) key to access the

Settings

Window, which opens with the ‘Channel’

parameter selected. Use the

←

→

keys to select the channel that you want to configure. Then

use the

↑

↓

keys to select each parameter in turn and set it to the required value either by

using the

←

→

keys to sequence through the options or pressing the

↵

key to open a new

Window with all the options listed. A typical configuration for a thermistor would be:

The Samples/Reading parameter is the number of samples averaged together to form a single

reading. Increasing this value will reduce the noise on the measurements (standard deviation

will reduce as the square root of the number of samples) but also slow down the update rate.

The resistance of a thermistor can be measured without entering any calibration information

by declaring the ‘Thermometer’ as a “Default Thermistor”. This can be useful when

calibrating thermistors against other thermometers:
