Thermocouple characteristics: thermocouple sensor measures temperature by using fine voltage
(electromotive force), which occurs when applying temperature gradient to a junction between two
different metals.
The temperature-electromotive force relation specification of normal thermocouple sensor provides
the electromotive force, which is measured when a sensor’s measuring point is at O℃. On that
account, when measuring temperature by using thermocouple sensor, cold junction compensation
(reference junction compensation, RJC) is used. (built-in function of temperature measuring module).
