In short, I have a multiple definition error when I add a non-templated function declaration into the implementation file. Long explanation with examples follows. When the pair of mock header + implementation files only contain the declaration/implementation pair of the templated function, everything works fine. It also works fine when I add an implementation of a new templated function only in the implementation file.
Now the non-Smart followers might say, âwhat happens to my back-up thermocouple?â Dual thermocouples are a gimmick that seldom provide long or meaningful back up when one of the thermocouples fail. Lets examine the failure possibilities: Catastrophic Failure - Oh yeah, we might get 2 or 3 seconds more of readings.
Another application for thermocouples is in the measurement of average temperature between several locations. The easiest way to do this is to connect several thermocouples in parallel with each other. The millivolt signal produced by each thermocouple will average out at the parallel junction point.
