The purpose of a Primary Laboratory is to calibrate Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRT's). The thermometers are placed into each fixed point in turn and the resistances are recorded.
These resistances need to be substituted into a set of polynominals specified in ITS-90 which eventually prints out a resistance/temperature table enabling the sprt to be specified at any temperature within the range of intent.
Developed for our own use and now available commercially, the Daedalus program is described below.
Daedalus Program
Daedalus 1.1(P) is an MS-DOS compatible software programme for interpolating and printing or displaying a platinum resistance thermometer table on ITS-90. Any of the 11 ranges of the Scale may be chosen, within the limits of -259.3467°C and 961.78°C. Arbitrary ranges may also be chosen. The required input is resistance measured at the fixed points of the Scale or user selected temperature values prescribed for the chosen range. Output may be to screen or to most printers compatible with IBM MS-DOS machines or clones, with either temperature, resistance or resistance-ratio as the independent variable. Temperature values may be chosen in °C, °F or K.
The program is supplied on a single 3.5" disk.
A comprehensive manual is included.
