I am trying to collect data from a humidity sensor (Testo 6621 - https://www.testo.com/pt-BR/testo-6621/p/0555-6621) with NI 9215, but I am having a lot of downward voltage spikes noisy (as can be seen in Fig. 1). I tought it could be a problem with ground wire as I already read here before, but I tested, and it is ok. 
A second tought was that the problem was with humidity sensor. However, it is sending the correct voltage but when it cames to NI-9215 he get the downward voltage spikes noisy. 
Can someone help to solve this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

No expert, but it might help if you ground the other inputs (if not already grounded)...

Hey tg94,
For troubleshooting signal problems, this document is a great reference:
Troubleshooting Offset, Incorrect, and Noisy Readings of NI Multifunction DAQ
https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P9K1SAK&l=pt-BR
In that article, you can find the one below:
Field Wiring and Noise Considerations for Analog Signals
https://www.ni.com/en/shop/data-acquisition/measurement-fundamentals/field-wiring-and-noise-consider...
There, you'll find several considerations about dealing with noise signal and why they may happen. Please, go through the article the check what fits to your system and application. One I ask you to review carefully is the Measuring Floating (Nonreferenced) Sources section. I believe that your noise might be coming from the fact that both your signal source and measurement system are floating.
Could you review that and give us a feedback you were able to minimize the noise?
Have a great week!
