For temperatures above 0°C, coefficient C equals 0, reducing this equation
to a quadratic. If you pass a known current, IEX, through the RTD and
measure the output voltage developed across the RTD, V0, you can solve
for T as follows:
where
V0 is the measured RTD voltage.
IEX is the excitation current.
