COTS Pressure Transducers with NI-9236

[ahazlett57]

Hi NI Community,

I was curious, what are some models of pressure transducers which are compatible with the NI-9236 CDaQ module?

I am looking for a series with pressure range of 0-100 psi. I see that the NI-9236 has a three wire pinout per channel, most pressure transducers have 6 wire pins?

Thanks for your help all.

Warm Regards,

Anthony

The NI-9236 is build for 360 Ohm quarter bridge sensors (RTFM)

... all pressure sensors I have seen have full bridge ...

(but I have never searched for quarterbridge ones 😉 )

So look for a quarter bridge sensor (or half bridge) ... but have a look at the temperature sensitivity!

Henrik,

Thank you for your diligent reply, in which you recommended to RTFM. I would have never considered that option. No where in my thought process did I, having taken the time to create an account, post a question inquiring if there are any anecdotes of experience with the situation I am currently in, think to myself - "Hey maybe the manual has the answer to this...nah I won't read the document developed by the manufacturer, that's not for me".

Thanks so much for adding to this rich discussion.

Warm Regards,

Anthony
