Figure 95: Input error calculation

Input Error Examples: Type T Thermocouple @ 45°C

These examples demonstrate that in the environmental temperature range, input-
offset error is much greater than input-gain error because a small input range is
used.

Conditions:

CR1000 module temperature,‐25 to 50°C 

Temperature = 45°C 

Reference temperature = 25°C 

Delta T (temperature difference) = 20°C 

Thermocouple output multiplier at 45°C = 42.4 µV °C

‐1

 

Thermocouple output = 20°C * 42.4 µV °C

‐1

 = 830.7 µV 

Input range = ±2.5 mV
