Regarding accuracy, 0.5 C should be fine for my measurement and the temperature range is -100 C to 200 C.
If PT1000 is connected in series to ISET and the other terminal of PT1000 connected to GND. If PT1000 is located inside the thermal chamber and the rest of electronics is placed at standard lab temperature then do I also need to compensate for VR ? I guess not.
If I get 1 mA in ISET that run through PT1000 inside the thermal chamber then at temperature 0 C, the PT1000 will have 1000 Ohm resistance and 1 mA through the PT1000 will give 1 V across PT1000 at 0 C. Is that correct ? If temperature inside the thermal chamber is change, it will change the resistance of PT1000 that will change the voltage across PT1000 which will be readout by microcontroller.
1) Yes, OK not to use T compensation if your design accuracy goals met. But that means you
do a total signal and device path error analysis, otherwise you are fooling yourself.
2) Yes, 1 mA thru 1K ohms = 1V.
You do have some wire drop, and its tempco, again a complete error budget always a good
idea.
.5C, the T depoendence of set current is -
Set current error is at room temp....
basically +/- 4%, so at room temp thats +/- 4% error, and that does not include the other errors.
If this is a one off you can always to a ice bath cal of the LM134 with a trim to take out error.
Lastly you may have a problem with common mode error if not using differential V measurement
of PT1000. In light of facts its a furnace, lots of power cycling in its temp controller creating noise.
Don't forget you have to keep the LM134 in compliance to keep it regulating, note this in spec sheet is
just room temp value -
