2645A Thermocouple per ITS-1990 Measurement Specifications A-27.
Tables A-35 to A-36 provide 2645A specifications for the thermocouple
measurement function per ITS-1990.
Table A-35. 2645A Thermocouple General Specifications
Specification Characteristic
Input Impedance 100 MΩ minimum in parallel with 150 pF
Open Thermocouple Detect Operates by injecting a small ac signal into the
input after each measurement. A thermocouple
resistance greater than 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ is
detected as an open input.
Temperature Coefficient To calculate Thermocouple accuracy for
temperatures between 28ºC and 60ºC, or -10ºC
and 18ºC, use a linear interpolation between
the two applicable points. e.g., if the applicable
spec at 28ºC is .6 and the spec at 60ºC is 1.1,
then the spec at 40ºC is (1.1-.6)*(40-28)/(60-
28)+.6 = .5*(12.32) + .6 = .7875.
Accuracy at -20°C Multiply the -10°C to + 60°C accuracy
specification by 2. After 1 hour warm-up. For
accuracy between -10°C and -20°C, interpolate
linearly.
