For example, start with a simulated resistance of 103.9 Ω, which corresponds to 10.0 °C.
Assume the offset from the sensor calibration was -0.3 Ω. Because of the offset, the
transmitter calculates temperature using 103.6 Ω. The result is 9.2 °C. Now change the
resistance to 107.8 Ω, which corresponds to 20.0 °C. The transmitter uses 107.5 Ω to
calculate the temperature, so the display reads 19.2 °C. Because the difference between
the displayed temperatures (10.0 °C) is the same as the difference between the simulated
temperatures, the transmitter is working correctly.
