(1) This table represents +/-.04% typical error while the maximum stated error is +/- 0.10%.
When calculating total measurement error, module error at 25 °C (77 °F) is only
one factor in deriving the total measurement error budget.
Other factors that impact thermocouple measurement error include
the following:
• Thermocouple sensor accuracy/error
• Conditions of thermocouple wire, such as wire length
• Cold junction compensation values
