#94663 - calculating resistance
Responding to: ???'s previous message
hi guys i have been playing around with designing and testing for my pt100 thermometer. I found out what the accuracy of the resistance,current and voltage range on my multimeter was so i could try to keep good accuracy. Then try to calculate the resistance of the pt100 sensor. So i can see what the temperature is and what the resistance should be for the given temperature. My setup is basicly the pt100 sensor hooked up to a current source then to measure the voltage directly over the sensor. Then to workout the resistance. But my problem is that the current and voltage measurements i need to measure to calculate the resistance. they are only to 1 decimal place but i need to be able to calculate the resistance to 2 decimal places. can anyone give me a clue on how i can get around this
