Determine AC Current through DAQ

Ya the calculation used to be different but it wasn't working then either. We are using an inverting op-amp configuration and are measuring the voltage on the output and using that to convert back into amps. What should our calculation be we have tried just about everything.

ajh305,

 

It sounds like you have an AC voltage on the output of the opamp.  Measure its RMS value and scale accordingly.

 

What I said in earlier post about using complete cycles of data will have an impact on your overall accuracy of your AC rms measurements.

 

HINT:  It is often beneficial to test a vi like this with a sine wave that is generated by LV.
