Traverses are performed every day. When temperatures are measured for health checks, 8bit measurements are taken. As part of the MAE experiment, a 16bit temperature measurement is taken from the solar panel temperature sensor. Lastly, as part of traverse data reporting, 8bit temperature measurements are taken from the front wheel temperature sensors. A temperature measurement in every case results from a set of samples collected from the sensor.
Temperature is a non-linear function of resistance measurement.
This is not a single number. A model is being developed to predict it in the other filters, but the model does not yet exist. It is a function of filter. The tails get very wide due to electronic cross-talk as the wavelength increases. Depending upon the assumptions used, many quatization noise estimates are possible.
