What is the sampling range (8, 12, 14-bit) and resolution (degrees C per bit) of these temperature sensors?
When temperatures are measured for health checks, 8bit measurements are taken. As part of imaging, a 16bit measurement is taken from the camera temperature sensor (for the camera doing the imaging). During the soil mechanics experiment, a 16bit temperature measurement is taken from the front wheel temperature sensor (for the front wheel under test). As part of the MAE experiment, a 16bit temperature measurement is taken from the solar panel temperature sensor. Lastly, as part of traverse data reporting, 8bit temperature measurements are taken from the front wheel temperature sensors. A temperature measurement in every case results from a set of samples collected from the sensor. A measurement is determined from 10 readings of the sensor: the highest and lowest readings are removed and the remaining 8 readings are averaged. Temperature is a non-linear function of resistance measurement.
