FIGURE 3.4-1. Panel Temperature Errors
With an external driving gradient, the temperature gradients on the input panel
can be much worse. For example, the CR800 was placed in a controlled
temperature chamber. Thermocouples in channels at the ends and middle of
each analog terminal strip measured the temperature of an insulated aluminum
bar outside the chamber. The temperature of this bar was also measured by
another datalogger. Differences between the temperature measured by one of
the thermocouples and the actual temperature of the bar are due to the
temperature difference between the terminals the thermocouple is connected to
and the thermistor reference (the figures have been corrected for thermistor
errors). Figure 3.4-2 shows the errors when the chamber was changed from
-55° to 85°C in approximately 15 minutes. Figure 3.4-3 shows the results
when going from 85° to 25°C. During these rapid changes in temperature, the
temperature of panel thermistor will tend to lag behind the terminals because it
is buried a bit deeper in the CR800.
