Calculator to convert RTD resistance to Temperature and Temperature to Resistance. RTD’s Such as PT100’s and PT1000’s change resistance when they respond to temperature . As the Temperature increases so does the Resistance. This calculator quickly converts RTD Resistance to Temperature compared to thermistors RTD’s (PT100 and PT1000) are considered linear but in absolute terms … Read more
Ratiometric output is a voltage output from the Sensor that is proportional to the supply voltage. The output voltage is a percentage of the supply voltage at each calibrated point so, 10% at the lowest limit and 90% at the highest limit and 50% at the midpoint. The Ratiometric output image below shows the ratio … Read more
