Actually, those "thermocouple simulators" are nothing more than millivolt
sources.

Back in another lifetime, before digital electronics when I was working on
the Ford Gas Turbine engine, I seem to recall we calibrated temperature
devices with a simple milivolt source. Can't we use the same thing these
days. Since the t/c provides a milivolt signal and an A/D converter is
used. ????
Since we were looking for 1900 degrees f average turbine inlet temperature.
(this was in 1970) accurate reading and averaging by our analog fuel system
was of course paramount. About the only reliable data aq we had then was
the good ol strip chart recorder.
