The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

The nickel-thin-film RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensors provide a large change resistance in response to temperature changes at a lower cost than nickel wirewound RTD elements. The sensors ...

It is the generic term for any device that measures temperature through changes in resistance. Though iron, nickel, copper, and tungsten have been used as temperature-sensing elements, platinum is the ...

National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced the NI PXIe-4357 RTD module, the latest addition to its SC Express sensor measurement family for PXI Express. The high-performance module is ...
