calculated. This Thermal Diode Offset value will be programmed into the new diode 

correction MSR and when added to the Thermal Diode Base value can be used to 

correct temperatures read by diode based temperature sensing devices. 

If the n

trim

 value used to calculate the Thermal Diode Offset differs from the n

trim 

value 

used in a temperature sensing device, the T

error(nf)

 may not be accurate. If desired, the 

Thermal Diode Offset can be adjusted by calculating n

actual 

and then recalculating the 

offset using the actual n

trim

 as defined in the temperature sensor manufacturers' 

datasheet.

The Diode_Base value and n

trim

 used to calculate the Diode_Correction_Offset are
