Data linearization
An on-board microcontroller automatically performs linearization on RTD and thermistor measurements.
RTD measurements are linearized using a Callendar-Van Dusen coefficients algorithm (you select DIN,
SAMA, or ITS-90).
Thermistor measurements are linearized using a Steinhart-Hart linearization algorithm (you supply the
coefficients from the sensor manufacturer's data sheet).
External components
The USB-5203 has the following external components, as shown in Figure 12.
Screw terminal pins 1 to 26
LEDs: Activity (top) and Power (bottom)
Screw terminal pins 27 to 52
Figure 12.External component locations
Screw terminals
Use the screw terminals for connecting temperature sensors and digital I/O lines. These terminals also provide
ground and power output connections. Refer to the "Error! Reference source not found." chapter for screw
erminal descriptions.
USB connector
The USB connector provides +5V power and communication. No external power supply is required.
LEDs
USB-TEMP-AI has two LEDs –Activity and Power.
The Activity LED (top) blinks when data is transferred.
The Power LED (bottom) turns on when the device is receiving power from the USB cable .
