How to compute offset and multiplier for temperature with VX, resistor and BRHALF?


weatherguy Aug 20, 2024 08:16 PM

Hello,

I have older MetOne model 083 T/RH sensors with a T range of -50C to 50C using VX1 with a 23.1K ohm resistor to SE1 and BRHALF.  The working CR1000 instruction to read it is:

BrHalf(TempC,1,mv2500,1,VX1,1,2000,True,0,_60Hz,-178.89,105.99)

However, I also have some newer MetOne model 085 T/RH sensors with a T range of -30C to 50C that use an 18.7K resistor.

My question is how do I compute the multiplier and offset for the newer sensors.  I found some CS docs on this topic but not one that explains it with a resistor and excitation. 

I'd like to learn how to do this for future reference.  Any assistance is appreciated!
