7.8.18 PRT Measurement
PRTs (platinum resistance thermometers) are high-accuracy resistive devices used
in measuring temperature.
7.8.18.1 PRT Calculation Standards
Two CR800 instructions are provided to facilitate PRT measurement.
PRT():anobsoleteinstruction.ItcalculatestemperaturefromRTD
resistanceusingDINstandard43760.Itissupersededinprobablyall
casesbyPRTCalc().
PRTCalc():calculatestemperaturefromRTDresistanceaccordingtoone
ofseveralsupportedstandards.PRTCalc()supersedesPRT()inprobably
allcases.
For industrial grade RTDs, the relationship between temperature and resistance is
characterized by the Callendar-Van Dusen (CVD) equation. Coefficients for
different sensor types are given in published standards or by the manufacturers for
