Measurement devices (e.g., datalogger, controller) do not measure resistance directly, but determine resistance
from a half-bridge measurement, where an excitation voltage is input across the thermistor and an output voltage
is measured across the bridge resistor.
An excitation voltage of 2.5 V DC is recommended to minimize self-heating and current drain, while still
maintaining adequate measurement sensitivity (mV output from thermistor per C). However, other excitation
voltages can be used. Decreasing the excitation voltage will decrease self-heating and current drain, but will also
decrease thermistor measurement sensitivity. Increasing the excitation voltage will increase thermistor
measurement sensitivity, but will also increase self-heating and current drain.
Conversion of Thermistor Resistance to Temperature
The thermistor is a resistive element, where resistance changes with temperature. Thermistor resistance (R
is measured with a half-bridge measurement, requiring a known excitation voltage input (V
of output voltage (V
