RTD Means...
(a)
These devices capture infrared radiation from an entire scene and create a visual image that
shows temperature variations across the object or area.
(a)
consist of two different metals joined at one end, and the temperature difference between the junction and the free ends generates a voltage that corresponds to temperature.
