Note Error discussed in this section and error-related specifications of
the CR3000 do not include error introduced by the sensor or by the
transmission of the sensor signal to the CR3000.
The accuracy specifications for ratiometric-resistance measurements are
summarized in the tables Ratiometric-Resistance Measurement Accuracy
(p. 372).

(p. 368).
Offset is the same as that for simple
analog voltage measurements. See the table Analog Voltage Measurement
Offsets
(p. 352).
Assumptions that support the ratiometric-accuracy specification include:
•
CR3000 is within factory calibration specification.
•
Excitation voltages less than 500 mV and excitation currents less than
500 µA are reversed during the excitation phase of the measurement.
•
Effects due to the following are not included in the specification:
o
Bridge-resistor errors
o
Sensor noise
o
Measurement noise
•
Resistance measured with Resistance() instruction is determined from
Vs/Ix, where excitation current Ix is measured across a 1000 Ω, ±0.005%
@ 25 ˚C, 2 ppm/˚C TCR internal resistor.
