Constant voltage measurement mode is used with sensors that have a negative temperature
coefficient.
The sensor and a reference resistor (either R44 or R45) are connected in series. Digital to
analogue converters U24 and U25 generate an upper and lower demand voltage. The upper
voltage is buffered by U10 and applied to the upper end of the sensor resistor
