DAQami software

[Lee Zhong]

Planning to buy a data logger. Can I use the USB-2416 DAQami software on USB-1024LS?

Hello @Lee Zhong.

Yes, the USB-1024LS device is supported in DAQami.

Here is a link to the supported hardware list.

Thanks for your answer.

One more question - Can I use USB-1024LS to log pressure data through a pressure transducer with 4-20 mA output?

Best regards,

Lee

Hello @Lee Zhong.

The USB-1024LS does not support pressure transducer devices.  The USB-1024LS supports digital I/O signals.

Hello Fausto,

Thank you for this info.

I am trying to fix an issue with the data logger USB-2416-4AO which I am currently using for pressure data logging. The reading is jumping around while the out put of the pressure transcuders are stable. Two photos are attached. The first one is the logging while the pressure for both channels were stable at 0 psi, i.e., no pressure was applied to the pressure transducers. The second photo is the wire connections for channels 1 and 2.

This system had worked properly for serveral weeks but now it starts to do the "jumping".

What could be the cause of this issue and how can it be fixed? 

Thank you for helping.

Hello @Lee Zhong.

Did you configure the channels to be differential inputs, in DAQami?

Please provide screen captures of DAQami's configuration.

Remove both pairs of wires and connect a jumper wire between terminals 2 & 3 and another jumper between terminals 6 & 7.

Please share your data results.

Next, remove the first jumper and connect one pair of wires from your sensor.

Please share your data results.

Regards,

Fausto

Ok.

Do I need to remove the two resisters before connecting the jumper wires?

Thank you.

[Fausto]

No, but you can test both conditions; jumper wires with and without the resistors.

Here are the photos.

1. Configuration

2. With 2 jumpers. Two resistors connected 

3. The first jumper removed and a P sensor attached, with resistors connected. 

4. With 2 jumpers. No resistors connected 

5. The first jumper removed and a P sensor attached, with no resistors connected. 

Thank you.

Hello Fausto,

I changed to different electric circuits in the lab. It did not solve the issue.

Do you have a suggestion?

Thank you,
