Temperature Measurements with the Spider-80Ti using RTD Sensors

The Spider-80Ti is a front-end from the Spider-80Xi hardware platform that enables temperature measurement. Spider-80Ti supports temperature measurements from thermocouples and RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensors.

Each Spider-80Ti front-end adds 16 temperature measurement channels to the Spider-80Xi system. A Spider-80Ti front-end is user configurable to support either a PT100 RTD sensor or a K-type thermocouple. A combination of RTDs and thermocouples within the same Spider system is achieved by combining front-ends configured as RTDs and thermocouples.

This blog is part one of a two-part series. The next blog will discuss in detail about temperature measurements with the Spider-80Ti using thermocouples.
