Subject: RTD Readout Chassis Redesign 
[Tyler, Jon]

Today the FROSTI RTD readout chassis underwent a redesign:

Instead of the original ratiometric method, which involved wiring the FROSTI RTDs in series, each element is individually powered by separate excitations. Each element additionally possesses its own reference resistor of 100 Ohm. Now, if an RTD experiences an electrical short, it should not affect the measurements of the others in sequence, as it had with the original design.
