TheG089isspecicallydesignedtosupportthermocoupleinputconnectionsto/from
the GN840B/GN1640B card. The built-in digital cold junction sensor is used by the
GN840B/GN1640B card to compensate the thermal errors caused by the sensor to
measurement junction.
ThebreakoutsupportsaashmemorytoenableTEDSinformationtobewritteninto
