Convert RTD PT100 Resistance to temperature using DMM

[Karoumissi]

I need to measure a PT100 RTD using a DMM (4wire) and convert the resistance into temperature (degC). Can you help with an example?

Thanks

You at least need to provide the DMM you are using. In general, you would find the commands in the programming manual to configure the measurement type, type of temperature measurement, then read the meter.

LabVIEW comes with an example for doing this with the Agilent 34401 DMM.

Thanks for the feed back. I actually use the 34401 DMM. Where can I find this VI in Labview? Do you know how it is called?

Thanks

The main issue I have is the conversion from resistance to temperature. Thanks

The 34401 driver is on the Instrument I/O palette. The instrument does the conversion for you so I don't understand the question.

Oops - Just noticed the note that said the example applies only to the 34410/34411. Sorry. I don't have the manual handy.
