The temperature of the thermocouple cold junction must be known to get an
accurate absolute temperature reading from a thermocouple simulator. Using a
commercially-available zero-point dry-well as the cold junction, Figure 21 shows
the connections required between the Product and the DUT, an electronic
simulator in the Fluke 5522A.
