Voltage reach zero

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi Every one

 

I'm new to labview. 

 

I use a high accuracy load cell and signal conditioner which provide precise excitation and output (10 V)

 

The problem that when I use the DAQ card (myDAQ) to measure the output voltage 

 

The voltage reaches zero for finite time as in the image however it is very stable at zero (at no load)

Also the same problem I found earlier when measuring a 9V DC battery

 

Any ideas?

Looks like a wiring problem to me.

Moment please

 

my signal conditioner is programmed via serial port

 

when I connect it to pc via usb-232 converter in the same time of aqcuiring data then all readings are ok and no ripples or spikes to zero 

 

The connection diagram and VI block are attatched

I suspect that you have a grounding problem. The signal conditioner is probably grounded through the USB/RS-232 connection when you have that connected. When it is not connected through the USB, it may not be grounded.

 

Try connecting the AGND of the MyDAQ to the 24 V DC- connection or to a ground connection on the signal conditioner.

grounding the signal conditioner had solved the problem
