thermocouple

Thermocouple routines.

Provides a sense_temperature method to convert thermoelectric potential to temperature. The following thermocouple types are supported:

• Nickel-alloy thermocouples: Type E, J, K, N, T
• Platinum/rhodium-alloy thermocouples: Type B, R, S

This library includes newtype types, or wrapper types, to help with using the proper units when doing calculations. I investigated using some a dimensional analysis crate such as uom or dimensioned instead of making my own newtype types. However after experimentation, I found this to be difficult to use and not at all lightweight.

The underlying storage type is either f64 (default) or f32. The error tolerance is higher for f32, see the tests for details.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] thermocouple = "0.1.0"

and this to your crate root:

rust extern crate thermocouple;

The temperature of a thermocouple can be calcuated from a voltage reading.
