thermistor − compute temperature indicated by a thermistor
thermistor
This component computes the temperature indicated by a thermistor in a voltage-divider ladder. It uses the Beta-parameter variant of the Steinhart-Hart equation, described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor
thermistor.N.t0-c float in
Reference temperature of the thermistor, in degrees Celsius (typically 25 C). This must be set before the component can compute the thermistor temperature. The reference temperature information is supplied by the thermistor manufacturer.
thermistor.N.r0 float in
Resistance of the thermistor at the reference temperature. This must be set before the component can compute the thermistor temperature. The reference resistance information is supplied by the thermistor manufacturer.
thermistor.N.beta float in
Beta parameter of the thermistor (sometimes just called B). This must be set before the component can compute the thermistor temperature. The Beta parameter is supplied by the thermistor manufacturer.
thermistor.N.r-other float in
Resistance of the other resistor in the voltage-divider ladder. This must be set before the component can compute the thermistor temperature.
thermistor.N.v-total float in
Supply voltage of the voltage-divider ladder.
thermistor.N.v-thermistor float in
Voltage drop across the termistor.
thermistor.N.temperature-c float out
Temperature sensed by the thermistor, in degrees Celsius.
thermistor.N.temperature-k float out
Temperature sensed by the thermistor, in Kelvins.
thermistor.N.temperature-f float out
Temperature sensed by the thermistor, in degrees Fahrenheit.
thermistor.N.resistance float out
Computed resistance of the thermistor.
