Could you tell me what resolution in degree I will have using the datalogger DT80 with a thermocouple (type T)?

Thank you,
Francois

Good morning Francois,

To precisely answer your question, the DT80 has a resolution of 0.25 uV which for a T type thermocouple equates to less than 0.01 Deg C.That does not mean that you will be able o read a thermocouple to that level of accuracy.

Thank you for your answer,

So, when I measure a voltage, the data I will get will be multiple of 0.25 uV (22.75uV, 2.25uV, ...), and when I measure a temperature I will have at least two digit to the right of the decimal point (in my application, resolution is more important that accuracy)?

Is that right?

Thank you,
Francois

Good morning Francios,

It's never as simple as just the resolution there is a whole lot more to measuring temperature then just resolution. Resolution by itself is meaningless without an understanding of the physics of the sensor and the electronics used to read it.

As for the number of decimal places the dataTaker by default displays 1 decimal place for temperature readings.

Hello,

Ok I understand what you say, but I need to know if it's possible to have 2 decimal places for temperature reading, and how many I will have for voltages (uV scale).

Thank you,
Francois

Good morning Francois,

If you are using DeTransfer you can set up to 7 decimal places. The number of decimal places is set with the FF channel option. 1TT(FF2) will set two decimal places.

In DeLogger the number of decimal is fixed to 4.

Roger
