Liquid Level Sensor, NI ELVIS II+ and Labview

[Foster]

Hi,

I am currently using a Liquid level sensor, from what i can affirm is that it has two states, Float down = Contact closed; Float over = Contact open. I am wondering how should i connect it on the elvis board and display the two states on labview.

Hi Foster,

Do you have the part number of the Liquid level sensor?

I'm reviewing the specs now but still need the part number so that I can see the exact specs for the sensor.

And it's good if you can attach the real picture of your sensor as well (focusing more on the termination wire)

I have also attached what does it look like in this post

Hi Foster,

Since the output should just be either 2 states; contact close or contact open, I believe you can connect the sensor to Elvis board through the Digital port. 

But first you need to check what is the voltage been generated when it is floating down and floating over as the Digital port just recognize the LOW (off) and HIGH (on) states when it is within range 0V - 0.8V and 2.2V - 5V respectively.

I have connected it through the Digital I/O, and am able to detect the two states now. Thanks !
