Reference Temperature Accuracy Curves The internal temperature sensor located in almost all ACR data loggers is the ET-016 thermistor. Thermistors are non-linear which means the accuracy of the sensor varies over the entire temperature range of the logger. The graph below outlines the accuracy curves for the ET-016 thermistor. ACR data loggers with this thermistor on-board include: SmartReader, SmartReader Plus, OWL (if using standard range), JR, and Nautilus.
