How to use PT 1000 sensor with NI 9211

[Lasse P]

Hi all,

how do I use a PT 1000 temperature sensor with NI 9211?

Currently I am using Signal Express, just trying to measure the temperature, but so far without any succes

Thx in advance,

Lasse

A NI 9211 is a termocouple AI device.  A PT 1000 is an RTD.  While it might be possible to do signal conditioning to get that to work, you are better off:

Buying a thermocouple to replace the PT 1000

Or buying a NI 9217 (the RTD module) to replace the NI 9211

No work around - anybody?

As I would be sorry to buy more HW.
