• What is the Use of a Digital Thermometer

• The thermometer is the basic tool that is used
  for measuring temperatures. There are various
  types of thermometers that are widely used
  in Laboratories, Diagnostic labs, Dairy
  Industries, and many other applications.

• There has been a great revolution in the field of
  thermometers. From the earlier mercury-based
  thermometers, we have arrived at the digital
  thermometers of today that have a sensor to
  measure the change in resistance due to heat.

• This change in resistance gets converted into a
  temperature. The main part of a digital
  thermometer is the thermistor. It senses the
  temperature and there is an electronic display to
  show the temperature. Digital thermometers can
  read a wide range of temperatures based on their
  type and purpose.

• Hospitals, Scientific Industries and
  Suppliers, laboratories, Food Industries, and
  many other industries use high-precision digital
  thermometers to measure the temperature
  accurately.

• What is a thermistor?

• A thermistor is a resistor whose resistance value
  changes with the change in temperature. When the
  thermistor gets heated, its resistance goes up or
  down depending on its temperature coefficient.
  The analog output is supplied to the ADC through
  the wires and converted into a digital signal. A
  microcontroller receives it and after further
  processing, the temperature reading is displayed
  on the LCD interface to the microcontroller.

• Whether it is used in a Pharmaceutical
  Industry or a bakery, precision is important in a
  digital thermometer. Nowadays, highly precise
  thermometers are available in the market.

• Digital thermometers can send data directly to
  a microprocessor. They are simple to operate,
  affordable, and precise.

• What are the Applications of a Digital
  Thermometer?

• Domestic Purpose

• Check the temperature of the water before
  bathing.

• To check the temperature of food items for
  cooking.

• To measure the temperature of grill stands,
  ovens, and other heating appliances.

• Laboratory Purpose

• To check the temperature of a solution.

• To check the room temperature or atmospheric
  temperature to carry out experiments.
