4.15-10 Section 4: Using the Model 9100: RTD Temperature Function
Final Width = 215mm
4.15.5 Value Editing
The Temperature value can be edited using 'Digit' and 'Direct' edit facilities as described
in Section 3.
4.15.5 1 Span of Temperature Adjustment
As can be seen from the representation of the screen in sub-section 4.15.2, the Output
temperature can be expressed in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin. The span of
output temperature simulation is given in the table below for all three units:

4.15.6 Crossing Thresholds
4.15.6.1 Temperature Resolution
As the temperature value exists in only one resolution:
6 significant digits with 2 places of decimals;
there are no resolution thresholds to cross.
4.15.6.2 Hardware Configurations
Transfer between hardware configurations is transparent to the user, as described below:
When increasing or decreasing temperature and hence output resistance, using any
method: if the new resistance is too large or small for the present hardware configuration,
then if OUTPUT is OFF there will be no noticeable effect as the hardware reconfigures.
If OUTPUT is ON, it will be temporarily turned OFF so that the hardware can reconfigure,
then ON again at the new resistance. No warning will be given. This interruption should
cause little disturbance to the reading on any UUT.
When moving from one hardware configuration to another, the 9100 will attempt to retain
the same current output for the new output value.
