Scaling issue w/DAQ Assistant

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello all!  First post!  Hope everyone is doing well in the midst of everything going on.

 

I am having an issue with DAQ Assistant not reading out scaled values.  I have (4) power transducers that output 4-20mA, representing 0-3kW.  I have created a custom scale for them as shown in the attached pic.  For some reason, the indicators will only read out the pre-scaled value.  I cannot seem to figure out what I'm missing here, as I've written VIs in the past using this same technique and don't remember having an issue getting scaled values on the indicators.

 

I am using LabVIEW 2019, 19.0.  Hardware is a cDAQ-9189 with a 9203 AI card.

 

I'd greatly appreciate any assistance the community can provide.  Scratching my head on this one.

 

Thanks!

The problem I see in your picture 3090 is that you have the units set to watts, but the range is 4m to 20m  which means 4 milliwatts to 20 milliwatts.  You need to set the range to 0 to 3000.

That worked like a charm.  I was considering those values as pre-scaled in terms of input; just looking at it incorrectly.

 

Thank you very much!
