A terminal input module can be used to complete the circuit in figure PT100 in
Three-Wire Half-Bridge
(p. 242). Refer to the appendix Signal Conditioners (p. 647)
for information concerning available TIM modules.

7.9.15.4 PT100 in Four-Wire Full-Bridge
Example shows:
• How to measure a PRT in a four-wire full-bridge
Advantages:
• Uses half as many terminals configured for analog input as four-wire half-
bridge.
Example PRT Specifications:
• α = 0.00392 (PRTType 2)
This example measures a 100 ohm PRT in a four-wire full-bridge, as shown in
figure PT100 in Four-Wire Full-Bridge
(p. 244), using CRBasic instruction
