Hi everyone
I have a PT5 pressure transducer which has two wires with one for 24Vdc power supply (brown wire) and the other for 4-20mA ouput (white wire) like in the link below

I am confused about wiring this pressure transducer to NI 6238. I try to connect its brown wire to power supply (+) and white wire to AI0+ (no 1) of the NI 6238. The power supply (-) then is wired to AI GND (no 3) of the NI 6238 in order to create a electrial loop. Is that correct connection?
Greatly appreciate your help!

connect brown wire to 24vdc power supply, connect white wire to AI0+(pin1) of daq, connect return wire to AI0- (pin20) to Daq AI GND and to GND of 24vdc power supply...according to method 2 of the 6238 manual 4-4
