    When the reference junction is located at the datalogger, the signal wires between the datalogger and the AM32 must be of the same wire type as the thermocouple (Figure 6-1). The 21X and CR7 have reference temperature FIGURE 5-3. Half Bridge measurement with sensors installed under differential input resistor at the datalogger.

    The following example explains the wiring and programming necessary to make measurements of 10 copper-constantan thermocouples (type T) using the AM32 multiplexer. The AM32 should be enclosed in an AM-ENCT enclosure. In the example program, thermocouple temperature measurements are made on the first 10 AM32 channels.
