These failure symptoms are used to define

\section{Overview}
This chapter intends to show a practical example of a functional group of base components

This chapter shows a practical example of
one `symptom~abstraction' stage in the FMMD process.
We take a functional group of base components,

to find failure symptoms.
These failure symptoms are used to define
a derived component.

An industry standard temperature measurement circuit,
the PT100 is described and then analysed using the FMMD methodology.
A derived component, representing this circuit is then presented.
The PT100, or platinum wire \ohms{100} sensor is
a widely used industrial temperature sensor that is
slowly replacing the use of thermocouples in many
