Example 3: Thermocouple measurement accuracy
Calculating the total thermocouple reading error is easy with
the DAQ970A—just add the listed measurement accuracy to the
accuracy of your transducer. Switching, conversion, and reference
junction errors are already included in the measurement
specification.
For this example, assume a J-type thermocouple input reading 150°C.
From the following page, total error is:
Thermocouple probe accuracy + 1.0°C
The probe vendor specifies accuracy of 1.1°C
or 0.4%, whichever is greater.
Total error is then:
1.0ºC+1.1ºC=2.1ºCtotal,or1.4%
Example 4: acV accuracy
The acV function measures the true RMS value of the input
waveform, regardless of waveshape. Listed accuracies assume a
sinewave input. To adjust accuracies for non-sinusoids, use the
listed crest factor adder.
For this example, assume a ± 1 V square wave input with
50% duty cycle and a 1 kHz frequency.
Accuracy for 1 V, 1 kHz sinusoid is:
0.05% reading + 0.02% range = 0.7 mV or 0.07%
