THERMISTOR

(CAMPBELL

MoDEL
101)
Instruction 1 1,
107 Thermistor
Probe,
automatically
calculates temperature
by
transforming
the millivolt reading
with
a 5th
order
polynomial.
lnstruction 55,
Polynomial, can
be
used to calculate temperature of any
nonlinear
thermistor,
provided
the correlation
between
temperature
and
probe
output
is known, and
an
appropriate
polynomial
fit
has been
determined.
In
this
example,
the
21X is used to
measure the
temperature
of 5
Campbell
Scientific
101 Probes
(used
with
the
CR21).
Instruction 4, Excite,
Delay,
and
Measure, is used
because
the
high
source
resistance
of
the
probe
requires
a long
input
settling time
(see
Section
13.3.1).
The
excitation
voltage is 2000mV,
the same as used
in
the
CR21. The signal
voltage is then
transformed to temperature
using the
Polynomial Instruction.
