bnc 2110 input limit is 5V?

[Johnnykoo]

Hello, I'm trying to measure the magnetic field using hall sensor,

I created simulated sin wave with amplitude 10V

however, it seems like BNC 2110 would only measure up to +-5V ?

Is it ok to switch it to 10V so I can display +-10V range ??

Thank you  for your help !!!!!

A BNC 2110 is just a dumb connector block and cannot measure anything at all.

However, since you are simulating a voltage and not anything physical, the BNC 2110 would seem to be ideal.

As you might guess, I think there are a couple of problems with your post.

ok sorry, let me clarify my question again,

I'm using labview 8.5 and from DAQ assistant box, under the voltage input setup tab

default input max and min is +-5V

I was wondering if I can change them to +-10V

and not break BNC2110

Thank you

You don't get it. Your BNC 2110 is not a data acquisition device. You must have something else in the pc or connected to a USB port. If you have an actual DAQ device, then it has limits on the analog input and you won't be able to set the input limits to something higher than what the board will accept. Stop worrying about the BNC-2110 and start thinkg about the actual DAQ card.

oh, now I see what you were saying

I think my daq board is NI 6035E for laptop,

I found spec sheet for this series and found analog input page but not sure if the limit is 5V...

Could you help me on this ?

Page 3. The max range is +/- 10V.
