An accurate temperature sensor can be fashioned from a thermistor in one leg of a bridge circuit. Lead length is not significant; so several sensors may be switched in and out of a single monitor without loosing accuracy. Two thermistors make a differential thermometer that can be used for measuring temperature changes along a piping system or between various elevations in a building to balance the heating and air conditioning unit.
