A digital thermometer is an instrument that measures the body temperature and it uses electronic means to provide a digital display of the temperature reading. Such thermometers can also provide a digital input to a computer.
How do Digital Thermometers Work?
Digital thermometer contain temperature sensor such as Thermistor or RTD. It has specific resistance at room temperature. When temperature increases, internal circuit calculates the rise.
Digital Thermometer receives change in temeprature from a Transducer such as Thermistor(Thermally Sensitive Resistor) or RTD (Resistive Temperature Detector) and accordingly circuit performs calculations and shows value.
What is the purpose of digital thermometer?
The purpose is the same, to meassure
temperature. It is better safer without the mercury.
How to Use Digital Thermometers?
Having a temperature is indicative of an infection or an illness your body is trying to fight off. You need to use a thermometer to find out if you have a fever and how serious it is.
