A two wire RTD has two leads, one to each side
of the temperature sensitive resistor. The
excitation current is connected directly to the
leads at the CIO-EXP-RTD16 screw terminals. A
two wire connection is less accurate than the 4
wire type, and so is not the first choice for the
best measurements. The reason for the inaccuracy
is that there is a varying resistance associated with
the excitation current flowing in the sense leads
and this resistance is added to the measurement.
The amount of inaccuracy is determined by the
wire

NOTE: The CIO-EXP-RTD uses a non-standard 3-wire hook-up.
A three-wire RTD connection allows the use of
special circuit to compensate for resistance
variations in the lead wires with temperature
changes (Figure 5-5 at right).
NOTE: The +Sense terminal is not used in this
non-standard hookup.
