7.8.18.2.4 PT100 in Four-Wire Full-Bridge
Example Shows:
• How to measure a PRT in a four-wire full-bridge
Advantages:
• Uses half as many input channels as four-wire half-bridge.
Example PRT Specifications:
• Alpha = 0.00392 (PRTType 2)
This example measures a 100 ohm PRT in a four-wire full-bridge, as shown in
figure PT100 in Four-Wire Full-Bridge
(p. 263),
using CRBasic instruction
BRFull(). In this example, the PRT is in a constant-temperature bath and the
measurement is to be used as the input for a control algorithm.
As described in table Resistive Bridge Measurements with Voltage Excitation (
p.
296
), the result of BRFull() is X,
X = 1000 V
