I am starting to have the need to make reasonably accurate temperature readings, most typically of ambient air... and typically in the range of -40C to +60C, but of course larger is better. I'd like to have at least 0.05*C accuracy, but again, of course finer is better. I have a high-resolution voltmeter I send off to get calibrated every year or so to be able to do similar voltage measurements, along with a voltage reference to verify it's calibration. I'm looking for something similar for temperature (the meter, not the reference, since they are really expensive (and no, boiling/frozen water isn't an accurate enough temperature source, especially on the boiling side)). -forrest -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
