Thermocouple equation
The Model 2750 uses the ITS-90 inverse function coefficients for the polynomial to calcu-
late thermocouple temperature. The Model 2750 measures the thermocouple voltage, and 
then calculates temperature (in °C) as follows:
t

 = c
0
 + c

E + c

where: t

 is the calculated temperature in °C.
c

 are the coefficients for the thermocouple type.
E is the thermocouple voltage in microvolts (µV).
The coefficients for each thermocouple type are listed in Table F-1 through Table F-8.
