When using PT100, can I use a resistor with a value slightly different from 400 ohm (e.g 402 ohms) for external reference resistor of the MAX31865?

402 Ohm resistor can be used in place of  400 Ohm resistor. Please note that 402 ohm should be used as Rref when calculating the resistance of RTD using the formula on page 19 of the datasheet (Rev 3 7/15) , The corresponding temperature can then be calculated from the calculated resistance.

For reference, the formula is included below;
