T24-TA [Temperature Acquisition Pt100]
Overview
The remote acquisition module requires an external platinum temperature sensor (Pt100). The module
measures the temperature and periodically transmits it. Between transmissions the device is optionally in a
power saving sleep mode to conserve batteries.
Various devices are available that utilise the transmitted data and include handheld
displays etc
Communications
To configure the device you will use the Read and Write mechanisms described in the
Data Packet Structures
section to read and write parameters and execute commands.
