With zeroing, the offset errors from the DAQ and the U2802A can be
removed, and replaced with the zeroing error.
Based on the ITS- 90 Thermocouple table, a J- type thermocouple will
output 33.102 mV at 600 °C, and changes at a rate of approximately
59 µV/°C. This corresponds to (33.102 mV
× 97.673) or 3.2332 V at the
input of the DAQ.
Hence, E
DAQ,
E
SIG_COND,
and E
ZEROING
are calculated as follows:
• E
DAQ
= 0.02%
× 33.102 mV
= 6.62 µV
= 6.62 µV ÷ 59 µV/°C
= 0.112 °C
• E
SIG_COND
= (0.06%
× 33.102 mV) ÷ 59 µV/ °C
= 0.337 °C
• E
ZEROING
= 6 µV ÷ 59 µV/°C
= 0.102 °C
Next, the cold junction sensor error is calculated.
At 23 °C, a J- type thermocouple output voltage changes at a rate of
52 µV/ °C. Thus, the CJ sensor error of 1 °C at 23 °C corresponds to
52uV/ °C
× 1°C = 52 µV.
At 600 °C,
• E
CJC
= 52 µV ÷ 59 µV/°C
= 0.88 °C
