Model ASPTC Aspirated Shield
with Fine Wire Thermocouple

1. General

The model ASPTC is an aspirated shield with a chromel-constantan
thermocouple temperature sensor. One ASPTC can be used to measure
absolute air temperature. Two ASPTCs are used to make delta temperature
measurements. The differential voltage thermocouple instruction (TCDiff in
CRBasic or Instruction 14 in Edlog) is recommended to measure the ASPTC,
because a differential measurement reduces noise.
