nVision’s RTD100 temperature module is designed to be used with 100Ω
platinum RTDs that can be wired in 2, 3, or 4-wire methodology.
Default nVision setting is 3-wire,
but this can be modified with
CrystalControl to achieve the method that you prefer.
See Temperature Module (RTD100) Specifications for further information.

The relationship between temperature and resistance is given by the Callendar-Van Dusen
equation.
