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.
Thermocouples are often used at high temperatures and in reactive furnace atmospheres. In this case, the practical lifetime is limited by thermocouple aging. The thermoelectric coefficients of the wires in a thermocouple that is used to measure very high temperatures may change with time, and the measurement voltage accordingly drops.
