NI9205 used to measure voltage Kulite sensor

I'll take a picture monday.

I found a way to acquire a signal, it seems that I read a voltage of 2.6 V when no air is blowed on it. When I blow on the sensor, there is a small variation, around 0.1V up to 0.2V.

 

One thing that bugs me: on the Kulite datasheet they say I need 10 V for the electrical excitation. But my power supply is rated for 5V. (with my Dataforth which is also +-5V). 

 

Do you think it could be a problem of power supply?

The Dataforth has an internal DC-DC converter that steps up the 5V to provide 10VDC of excitation at pins 1 and 4.

 

A Digital multimeter or an oscilloscope would be helpful in troubleshooting here.
