 what do you mean by the text 

   

the junction sensor is isothermal with the cold junction ??

   

(in context to industrial application - under thermocouples)

       

thank you !!

tl;dr: the junction temperature sensor needs to be at the same temperature as the cold junction of your thermocouple.

Here is another excellent reference for use of Isothermal blocks.
