Hello nos,
I just saw this post and thought I'd see if I can still help.
The only limitation that I believe might really affect the 9237 is the 150mW maximum power as stated on page 16 of the manual.
With this in mind, I would expect that it all depends on what excitation voltage you use.
If you use the formula P=V2/R with V as the excitation voltage and R as your device's resistance, then you should be able to check if you exceed this power limitation.
I hope this helps,
Let me know your thoughts,

Michael,
Thank you for your response.
The potential problem that I was concerned with was that the sensor would draw such a small supply current, due to it's input resistance being 6.3 kOhms, that some minimum supply current threshold may not be reached. However, it seems that this is not the case as we were able to connect one of the sensors to a NI 9237 and get sensible responses to pressure changes.
Best Regards,
