Where did you get the idea to use a 1 k load for an AD590?
Jim was refering to a circuit _he_ used in a satellite. Not to your circuit.
We've also used 3k. It's more about supply voltage, expected
temperature range, and the ADC you're using (if any). 1k is handy if
you're running off 5V and are feeding a 1 volt full scale ADC - room
temp is 0.3 V. Note that the *minimum* voltage across an AD590 is 4V,
so if you've got a 3V supply, you're out of luck.
10k gives you 3V at room temp, and is quite ok into a 5V ADC, as long as
your supply is at least 7-8 volts.
There is self heating to worry about if you have a high supply voltage
(12V @ 0.3 mA is 3.6 mW), but realistically, all sensors have that
problem (unless you are using a PRT in some sort of bridge that nulls
the current)
