The only way to properly use a millivoltage source to simulate a desired temperature is for the instrument technician to out-think

the transmitters compensation feature by specifying a millivolt signal that is offset by the amount of equivalent voltage generated by the transmitters compensation. In other words, instead of setting the millivolt source to a value of 6.094 mV, the technician should set the source to only 5.229 mV so the transmitter will add 0.865 mV to this value to arrive at 6.094 mV and register as 300 degrees Fahrenheit:
