  1. Design an RTD interface with a spreadsheet
    RTDs (resistance-temperature detectors) are the preferred sensor choices for designs requiring precision. Although RTDs are approximately linear over the limited temperature range of 0 to 100 °C, these sensors exhibit a slight but progressively more nonlinear...

  2. Some Basic Math Creates A Low-Cost Nonlinear Thermocouple Interface
    Measurement and process control loops often use 8-bit microcontrollers. The devices are inexpensive and widely available, and they can be programmed in many popular high-level languages – like C and Basic. However, if the loop requires a nonlinear sensor, the designer...
