Recording potentiometer

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008452

An electrical instrument that continuously measures and records an unknown electromotive force or potential difference by balancing it against a known potential. In meteorology, it is often used to record signals from sensors that produce a voltage output, such as thermocouples or resistance thermometers. This device provides a precise and stable method for data acquisition.
