Can I connect a 4-20ma pressure transducer directly to the MyRio

Can I connect a 4-20ma pressure transducer directly to the MyRio?  I am using a 0-25 psi, 4-20mA pressure transducer to recorder pressure underwater and am having trouble getting it work.  Is there anything special I have to do to connect the transducer to the Myrio?  Thanks

When I create a VI with an analog in with MXP connectors I get a constant value of 4.99.  From what I was reading this is because the 4mA is higher than the max value.  How can I fix this.  Thanks

Hi Ivan,

I just sent you an email via your service request, but for anyone else who my stumble upon this page looking for information. The myRIO does not have a built-in way of reading current measurements directly. See the following community page for information on how to read currents via voltage readings on the myRIO: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-39309
