USB-6009

[Kchiman]

I am electrical engineering student and i design a project which the sensor signals through USB-6009 to PC labview for monitoring, but i dont know this sensor and USB-6009 can do this function or not? anyone can help, Thank you!

Kchiman,

As an electrical engineering student it is time you learned to read and interpret data sheets. You will spend much of your career doing that.  And none of your professors ever mentioned it, right?

Data sheets are the source of much of the information which is critical to the success (or failure) of your designs.  Of course none of your professors actually knows much about design either.

OK.  Off the soapbox and on to something more likely to be helpful. The excitation voltage and the rated output of the sensor will provide you with an indication of the size of the signal you will be measuring.  Report back on the signal you calculate.

Then you compare that to the input ranges and resolution of the DAQ device. You may also need to look at the system noise specification.

Work through those calculations and let us know what you think about these devices for your project.

Connecting the sensor could be done via screw terminals....  no risc for ppt high performers to touch the solder iron on the wrong side 😄

it's possible, but 6009 is not accurate down to the mV range.....read this
