A Campbell Scientific terminal-input module (TIM) can be used to complete the resistive bridge
circuit. Refer to the appendix Passive-Signal Conditioners — List
(p. 563).

PT100 BrHalf3W() Three-Wire Half-Bridge Calibration
'This program example demonstrates the calibration of a 100-ohm PRT (PT100) in a three-wire
'half bridge with voltage excitation. See previous procedure and schematic.
'Declare constants and variables:
Const Rf = 10000000 'Value of bridge resistor
Public X 'Raw output from the bridge
Public RS0 'Calculated PT100 resistance at 0 °C
