how to connect an external humidity sensor HIH-4000-001 to mydaq (external circuit)?

hi everybody my supervisor requires me to use the NI myDAQ and he ask me to create an external circuit in order that I may accquire data using the map and the circuit I want to know the contents of this circuit and the appropriate VI!! help please Smiley Sad

Hey,

 

Start with the HIH-4000-001 data sheet, it has all the info you need: http://sensing.honeywell.com/honeywell-sensing-hih4000%20series-product-sheet-009017-5-en.pdf?name=H...

 

The sensor has 3 pins, power, ground and out.  Out is an analog voltage which represents the humidity using the following equation found on page 2 of the data sheet:

 

VOUT=(VSUPPLY)(0.0062(sensor RH) + 0.16), typical at 25 ºC

 

Page 5 of the datasheet recommends the following 'typical application circuit'.

Take some time and look through the data sheet.  All of the information you need is there (that's the point of a data sheet).  Datasheets can be intimidating at first but once you learn how to read them you'll be able to use any sensor you can find.

hi.. i'm also using this sensor, but i can't get the humidity number exactly, can you give me the vi you use? 

 

what NI module do you use anyway? i'm using NI9201, is it possible?
