Abstract

A device provides a temperature control and/or monitoring, including a controller to receive a minimum temperature value and a maximum temperature value of a temperature range to be measured. The controller correlates a known output signal range of a temperature sensor to the temperature range to be measured. Further, the controller receives an output signal from the temperature sensor, and generates a measured temperature value based on the output signal of the temperature sensor. A method to control and/or monitor a temperature is also provided.
