2640A 2-Wire Resistance Measurement Specifications A-16.
The 2640A specifications for the 2-wire resistance measurement function is based
on the 4-wire resistance measurement specification (above) except you add a
nominal 5-Ohm (10-Ohm maximum) positive offset. This value varies for each
channel and with temperature (nominal +1%/ºC).
2640A RTD’s 4-Wire, per ITS-1990 Measurement Specifications A-17.
Tables A-18 and A-19 provide 2640A specifications for the 4-wire Resistance-
Temperature Detector (RTD) measurement function. The 4-wire measurements
use 2 input channels a decade apart, e.g., channels 4 and 14.
Table A-18. 2640A 4-Wire RTD Temperature Coefficient
Specification Characteristic
Temperature Coefficient To calculate RTD accuracy for temperatures
between 28°C and 60°C, or -10°C and 18°C,
use a linear interpolation between the two
applicable points. e.g. if the applicable spec at
28°C is .2 and the spec at 60°C is .75, then the
specification at 40°C = (.75-.2)x(40-28)/(60-
28)+.2=.55*(12/32) + .2 = .406.
Accuracy at -20°C Multiply the -10°C to + 60°C accuracy
specification by 2. After 1 hour warm-up. For
accuracy between -10°C and -20°C, interpolate
linearly.
