An RTD bridge is coupled with a microprocessor-based data acquisition system for linear reading of temperature and for accuracy at the level of the precision data acquisition system. A reference divider is paralleled with the RTD bridge between a voltage reference source and ground, and linearization is effected in accordance with a function which is a geometric progression of the measured non-linear count. Calibration is effected in one embodiment with a precision divider, or with the bridge itself by making readings at the lowest and at the highest temperature intended with the bridge, according to another embodiment of the invention.
