The TMP1200 allows you to precisely measure temperature using RTDs, thermistors, and other resistance-based sensors. A resistance temperature detector (RTD) measures subtle temperature changes using a resistance of the element made of a pure metal (usually platinum). The resistance value will change in a precise and repeatable way. The RTD Phidget measures these subtle resistance changes, so you can get the most accurate temperature measurements. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.
