9205 reads sensor output incorrectly

Simple simple problem, but for the life of me, I just can't figure this out.

 

I'm reading the voltage output of a sensor with a cRIO (same result with a 1-unit cDAQ device) and a 9205 (configured as differential).  The output of the sensor is measured with a DMM as 10.0 V, but the 9205 reads 9.89-9.90V. 

 

-I DO have Com connected to power GND

-the cRIO and sensor are powered by the same power supply

-the setup is not in a vehicle (no ground loops)

-the sensor signal negative output is NOT connected to GND

-I tried using 47k bias resistors but it had no effect

-a calibrator outputting 10V IS read correctly from the 9205

-other sensors from the same manufacturer with different pressure ranges and the DO measure correctly

 

Simple, I know, but I just can't find the solution.

 

Attached is a simple drawing of the setup.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks,

 

Todd

Problem solved...the bias resistors were incorrectly connected to power GND, not COM.
