Converting A/D Value to Voltage Value (.Net)

[Ricky Ooi]

I want to confirm on this. If I would like to get the actual voltage measurement from a sensor, I have to use the following function to obtain the value in voltage right?

Board.ToEngUnits32(Range.Bip5Volts, memData, out double engVal);

Hello,

ToEngUnits converts A/D raw counts to voltage. However, the UL Help indicates that engVal is a float type value (or Single in VB) not a double and the Range parameter must match what you used when you read memData. Board.ToEngUnits32(Range.Bip5Volts, memData, out float engVal). Here's a link to the online version of UL Help: https://www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/Mcculw_WebHelp/ULStart.htm

Best regards,
