Setup RTD using SCXI hardware how?

[RTD user]

We are using an SCXI 1000 chassis, 1200 DAQ and 100SCXI 1300 terminal block. What is the set up procedure for RTD (PT100) signal input?

Hello;

By the equipment list you provided, you don't have an SCXI module that is actually the resposable for the signal conditioning. The 1300 is only a terminal block.
You need a SCXI module, such as the 1120, 1121 or so.

Once you have the SCXI module, you connect the terminal block to the SCXI module, and connect the RTD sensor to the terminal block.

Then, you can create a Virtual Channel in MAX, specifying the input channel to be of a RTD type. After that done, you are all set to start your measurements.

Hope this helps.
