3.2.1 Test Setup for Performance Testing

The TMP117 High-Precision Digital Temperature Sensor Evaluation Module was used to connect the DRTDs and capture all measurement data; all tests were done at 3.3 V.

The DRTD sensors have been placed as the DUT (Device Under Test) in a stirred oil bath with controlled temperature for measuring the temperature offset accuracy and response time.

The sensors were also tested for still air response time and compared to other TI boards with the TMP device. Several items of precision measurement equipment were used during the tests documented in this chapter:

  • Oil bath Fluke 7320 or 7340 with Galden HT200 fluid
  • Fluke 1502A meter with accuracy up to ±0.006°C
  • Secondary standard PRT probe Fluke 5628 with calibrated accuracy of ±0.006°C at 0°C
