Task 1: Characteristics of IC Temperature Sensor (LM 335)
We transform the voltage output to temperature (in Kelvin degree) thanks to the LM335. The Voltage multiplied by 100 is the temperature in Kelvin and if at
that temperature you subtract 273, you will get degrees Celsius. We use this transformation in the rest of the practice. We obtain the diagram using the table.

Task 2: Characteristics of Platinum RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)
To obtain the diagram we need to calibrate it first using the process in the instruction. We use the formula: 100ºC · (1 + 0.00385 · 28.7) = 111.05
we set this value and then obtain the table writing the voltage and the resistor that we measure.

𝑅2·𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡
In this table to get the R1 we need to transform the original formula from the voltage divider to: R1= 𝑉𝑖−𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 then we measure the voltage output
and the temperature, later we draw the diagram.
