Convert Thermocouple EMF to Temperature

Reads the requested file, translates the specified row or column (default column 1) from Emf (voltage) {mv} to Temperature {C}. If the file has a text header, this is copied across, and the new file written.

Only for Type T (Copper-Constantan) thermocouples at the moment, for which it covers -270C to +400C.

2mK RMS error w.r.t. NIST calibration ITS90 (quoted accuracy 50mk); 0.4mK peak error @ 12 thermoelectric fixed points.
- However it is your responlibility to ensure that all software meets the requirements of your application.

for more details on ITS90 and the calibration, see the NIST webpage http://www.nist.gov/srd

emf2tempcuco [-c N] [-r N] [-h] [file]
i.e. emf2tempcuco -c 3 mVdata > centigradedata
can be used as a filter : emf2tempcuco -r 4 < emf > temp
-h gives help, -c sets column, -r sets row to be changed (note space in front of N).

This Unix/Linux program is freely downloadable, but donations are appreciated, especially if you are using it for work or to make money. I intend to do more in this series, but if I have no return from this offering, I can not make them all freely available.
Mainly developed at home using Apl68000, this binary using apl2c.
