Introduction What is Table Ware ? TableWare is designed to calculate characterization coefficients for platinum, thermistor, and thermocouple probes. The types of coefficients that can be cal- culated are: ITS-90 for platinum probes; IPTS-68 for platinum probes; Callendar-Van Dusen for platinum probes; Polynomial for platinum and therm- istor probes;... - Page 7 9933 TableWare User’s Guide and/or Maximum Temp. setting fell outside the recommended tempera- ture range in °C. In version 2.2, an Overflow error sometimes occurred when attempting to generate tables from thermistor polynomial coefficients that Ta- bleWare calculated. This problem has been fixed.

default is Range 4. The choices for high range are Range 6 through Range 11, or None. The default is Range 8. If the type selected is Polynomial, the order of the polynomial is required. The order is selectable from 3rd to 9th order. The default for platinum probes is 4th order. -
Page 22: Thermocouple Probe
9933 TableWare User’s Guide Note: The accepted thermistor model is based upon the logarithmic resis- tance-temperature characteristic in terms of absolute temperature (Kel- vin). The accuracy of a model based upon °F or °C has not been tested. Therefore, TableWare always calculates polynomial coefficients for therm- istor probes using Kelvin. -
