NI TB-2627 Installation Instructions
5. Use the Cold-Junction Sensor Output
A cold-junction sensor (thermistor) is located near the J13 connector on the
PCB of the NI TB-2627. The cold-junction sensor outputs 0.2 V to 0.024 V
from 0 °C to 50 °C. From 15 °C to 35 °C, the NI TB-2627 has an accuracy
of ±0.5 °C. From 0 °C to 15 °C and 35 °C to 50 °C, the NI TB-2627 has an
accuracy of ±1.0 °C.
NI software can convert a thermistor voltage to the thermistor temperature
for the circuit diagram used in the NI TB-2627 and shown in Figure 6.
