I think it is sufficient to achieve a few temperature and maintain it.
Offset and scale errors will be there... but as long as they are
sufficiently stable so that we can be relatively stable during trimming.
If you run a few temperatures about 10 degrees apart or so would do.
Nailing the difference seems fairly pointless I think, from a trimming
point. Known temperatures or temperature differences is important only
for precision measures that only a few of us really care about, the rest
only cares about getting temperature dependencies down... just so that
it is essentially stable for the main purpose, but possibly not to
stable so it becomes booring.
Cheers,
Magnus
