APPS:  Maximum length of thermocouple cables
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to read a Type K thermocouple from a distance of about 25 m away from the temperature controller. I am thinking of using a PVC /20 AWG, type K, extension cable. Anyone knows if everything will be Ok?  or could arise a signal losses due to the  cable length which could affect the measurement?
