Resolution of teperature measurement

[MSS]

Dear All,

I am us 1102 SCXI module & RTD sensor for temperature measurement. My requirement of measurement resolution is 0.01 Deg.C but I am getting only 0.1 Deg.C in labview program. when I use calibration wizard available in new daqmx I saw 0.01Deg.C of resolution. How to get the same resolution in Labview program?

configure your indicator to show a resolution higher than 2 digits.

Right click on your indicator and choose Format&Precision ...

It is not the problem in formatting digital indicator. Actually my digital indicator is formatted to three decimal precision. but the increment if between two values is 0.06 Deg.C in labview program. but in calibration wizard in daqmx it is 0.01 Deg.C. how to get the same 0.01Deg.C resolution in labview program?

Uuhhh, you don't need to shout

What type of sensor (Pt100, NTC ???) are you using?

How is your setup (gain, exitation, connector block,  ... )?

Just because you have a 10mK resolution in the calibration tool, that doesn't mean you can get this resolution with your setup.

If you use a Thermistor 0.06K sounds reasonable in respect to some exitation and gain settings.
