Measure ACV with NI9205

Solved!

I want to measure/monitor the voltage across a heater element. The source is 208VAC and the heater is 94ohms. If I use the arrangement shown below will I damage my DAQ?

You seem to be trying to measure voltage from a mains powered heater.  The 9205 is not designed for this, and attempting to do so would be very hazardous.  Please see the safety specifications for the 9205 - https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/ni-9205-specs/page/specs.html.  

 

Consider using instead the NI-9225.  It is designed for high voltage applications and is designed to be safely isolated for mains applications.
