type of excitation
The voltage and current reference.
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage Reference | 0 | Specifies using a voltage reference.
Use the voltage reference and R1 inputs only with this option. |
| Current Reference | 1 | Specifies using a current reference.
Use the excitation current input only with this option. |
Default: Voltage Reference
voltage
The voltage read from a thermistor.
This input supports waveform and double-precision, floating-point data types.
voltage reference
The reference you apply across a resistor of known value in series with your thermistor. Use this input only when you set type of excitation to Voltage Reference.
Default: 2.5 V
R1
The value of the resistor in series with your thermistor expressed in ohms. Use this input only when you set type of excitation to Voltage Reference.
Default: 5000 Ω
excitation current
The excitation current applied to the thermistor. Use this input only when you set type of excitation to Current Reference.
Default: 100 µA
temperature units
The units of temperature this node outputs.
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Celsius | 0 | Returns temperature values in Celsius. |
| Fahrenheit | 1 | Returns temperature values in Fahrenheit. |
| Kelvin | 2 | Returns temperature values in Kelvin. |
| Rankine | 3 | Returns temperature values in Rankine. |
Default: Celsius
