\paragraph{Practical side effect of checking for thermocouple disconnection}
Because the potential divider provides an offset as a side effect of detecting a disconnection
resistance in the thermocopule extension or compensation cable will have an effect.
For a `k' type thermocouple this would be of the order of $5 { }^{o}C$ for $100\Omega$ of
cable loop impedance. Therefore, accuracy constraints and cable impedance should be considered
to determine specified maximum compensation/extension lengths.
