© National Instruments Corp. 7 FP-RTD-124 and cFP-RTD-124 Measuring Resistance Y ou can use the [c]FP-R TD-124 to measure resistance in ohms. In this way , you can take measurements from R TDs of types that the [c]FP-R TD-124 does not directly support (such as 120 Ω nick el R TDs) and from resistiv e devices oth er than R TDs. Y ou can measure r[...]

FP-RTD-124 and cFP-RTD-124 8 ni.com Unfortunately , not all TCR values are as well def ined b y standards organ izations, and the behavio r of R TDs with the same TCR value may vary from vendor to v endor . The va riations are usually small, and the built-in linearization algorithms of the [c]FP-R TD-124 are appropriate for nearly all applications.[...]

© National Instruments Corp. 9 FP-RTD-124 and cFP-RTD-124 Effects of Lead Resistance The [c]FP-R TD-124 measures resistance by driving a current through a circuit and sensing the resulting voltage. An y resistance in the lead wires that connect to the R TD can add errors to your readings if the measured voltage includes the drop across these wires[...]
