Measuring Temperature Using Thermocouples
(Agilent E1353A Module only)
The thermocouple terminal module automatically configures the Agilent
E1353A FET Multiplexer Module for thermocouple readings. The
multimeter measures the resistance of a thermistor on the terminal module
to provide a reference temperature. This reference temperature is used to
compensate for the change in temperature between the thermocouple
(desired measurement) and the terminal temperature (see “Comments” later
in this section).
