Appendix A
A-2
The accuracy of your thermocouple readings depends on:
module accuracy
lead resistance effect
accuracy of the thermocouple
The accuracy of the module is shown in Table A.A and Table A.B at ambient
temperature (25
o
C) and over the temperature range (0–60
o
C).
Use the calibration procedure in Chapter 7 to adjust your module to compensate
for your specific environment.
