A separate ice point reference at each input connector significantly minimizes the measurement error, even when ambient temperatures are fluctuating (e.g., due to strong sunlight). The ES620 supports type B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T thermocouples covering a measuring range of -210°C to +1820 °C (-346°F to +3308°F). The module operates at a resolution of 21 bit over the entire range, which allows a minimum measurement unit of 0.01°C with a basic accuracy of +0.25°C (K type). Temperature signals often only vary very slowly. A high sampling rate would cause redundant data which again would needlessly strain transfer channels and memory ressources. To avoid this, software filters and sampling rates can be optimized separately for each module.
