Hi LabVIEW help team!
I don't have much experience, how to connect the Honeywell transducers with LabVIEW using NI-USB-6001. I have gone through the specifications of Honeywell transducer (PX2EN1xx150PSCHX) and NI-USB_6001.
Honeywell transducers range of voltage is (+/-16V).
Does someone has already worked on it? Can anyone please guide me little how to make connections? I know that voltage supplier for pressure transducer will be needed. Would there be any other hardware needed?
I will greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Sandy

Hi Singh,
Honeywell transducers range of voltage is (+/-16V).
Where did you read this?
You are using the PSCHX-type, which means "current output": The datasheet gives 8-30V supply voltage range…
You need:
- a power supply for your sensor (I recommend 24V)
- a shunt resistor to convert current to voltage (I recommend 250Ohm, 0.1%)
- use your USB6001 to read the voltage across the shunt…
