COM
Thermocouple
Connect the COM terminal to a common-mode voltage reference
on the thermocouple. A valid common-mode voltage reference is
a voltage that is within ±1.5 V of the common-mode voltage of
the thermocouple
Minimizing Thermal Gradients
Changes in the ambient air temperature near the front connector
or a thermocouple wire conducting heat directly to terminal
junctions can cause thermal gradients. Observe the following
