	An important thing to note is that the ambient temperature sensor measures the temperature of the board and the air around it, though not specifically at the junction. Generally you can assume they are nearly the same temperature, however as the electronics heat up by being powered on there can be some small error introduced. This is exacerbated by having the board in an enclosed space where normal airflow is restricted thereby increasing the effect of self-heating. As a result we recommend that the board be left in as open and well ventilated/cooled a place as possible to minimize this error source.

			The TMP1100 allows you to measure extreme temperatures with up to 4 thermocouples. This Phidget connects to a J, K, E, or T type thermocouple. Choose the thermocouple type in software and data will be converted to degrees Celsius automatically. If you have other thermocouple types, you can open the channel in VoltageInput mode and convert it to Celsius manually.

	~~{{ugAddressingInformation}}~~		You can use your Control Panel to explore your Phidget's channels.

			Thermocouples consist of two junctions, one where the thermocouple meets the Phidget and one where the two wires are welded together at the sensing end of the device. In simplified terms, a thermocouple works by detecting the temperature difference between these two junctions. To measure the temperature at the sensing end we need to know the temperature where the thermocouple connects to the Phidget. There is an ambient temperature sensor on the board. The thermocouple reading is automatically calculated using the data from the on board temperature sensor.

Generally you can assume they are nearly the same temperature, however as the electronics heat up by being powered on there can be some small error introduced.

			{{UGC-Entry\|50Hz/60Hz Filtering\|\|
			One of the most common sources of electrical noise in a system is 50Hz or 60Hz hum from the local power grid. For firmware versions 107 and later for this Phidget, we have added a filter to compensate for 50Hz or 60Hz hum in your system.

			Without filtering, sensors in electrically noisy environments could see a repeating drift of tens of degrees, as noise from power lines finds its way into the system. The timing of this drift could vary, depending on how the samples from the sensor lined up with the noise from the power lines.

	~~{{Thermocouple_50_60Hz_Filter\|107}}~~		To combat this issue, all thermocouple temperature and voltage measurements on this device are now passed through a 100ms moving average filter, with samples taken at specific intervals designed to cancel out frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz (the most common power grid frequencies). The filtering on this Phidget will reduce the effect of power line noise by 95% or more, becoming more effective as the power line frequency approaches 50Hz or 60Hz exactly.

	{{~~UGnext\|~~}}		All samples from the sensor will be subject to filtering. When used with data intervals longer than 100ms, the sensor will measure the thermocouple(s) for 100ms to perform a measurement. When using data intervals less than 100ms, your application will see the effects of the latest measurements as they pass through the filter.
