1. Introduction
This manual will introduce you to the PT100 and describe its function so you
can make the best use of your new instrument.
Product specification:
1. Body is ceramic
2. Temperature range: -200 oC to 350 oC
3. Size: Ф1.5 x 16(L) mm
4. Order: http://shop.cpu.com.tw/product/8798/info/

Simulation of the circuit in Proteus software:
Varistors RVA and RVB are used to control the output voltage at pin 7 of LM324.

The linear properties of RTD PT100:
Calibration: by adjusting the varistors RVA RVB (see figure 3), we can make the
voltage line pass through desired values (0.25V at 25oC, 0.9V at 90oC). Then, reading
temperature (T) of PT100 will correspond to the output voltage (Vout):
T = 100*Vout

The construction of a ceramic PT100:
Measuring temperature by PT100’s body is better than by its tip.
To get the accurate temperature of the object, there should be a layer of thermal
grease (also called thermal paste, thermal compound) between PT100’s body and
object’s surface.

Measure temperature of 3 channels.
DAQ assistant block reads voltages from 3 PT100 boxes, plots them in graph
and writes to 3 data files (temp1.lvm, temp2.lvm, temp3.lvm) in the same folder.
Temperature T [oC] = 100*Vchannel

4. Procedure
1. Connect PT100 boxes to NI-9234 (see figure 8 on page 6).
- option 1: using output(+) and output(–).
- option 2: using BNC connection.
2. Use USB communication between NI-9234 card and computer.
3. Start LabVIEW program, configure DAQ assistant block (config. steps in the
following).
4. Run the program: 2 options
- normal run: collect data, plot graph and write to files (*.lvm).
- run continuously: for testing.
Configuration steps:
1. Add a voltage channel, select an analog input from ai0 to ai3.

2. Signal input range is ±5 V.
3. Coupling mode is DC.
4. Acquisition mode is N samples.
5. Rate (Hz) equals 10k.
6. Samples to read equals running time x rate (set 10k if 1s run).

Testing reading temperature of hot water with 3 PT-100:
1. Pour hot water into a cup.
2. Use reading temperature of IR camera as reference (72.5oC).
3. Do all procedure steps, normal run, sampling time equals 12s.
4. Temperature T [oC] = 100*Vchannel = 100* 0.73 = 73
