Resistor choice for voltage divider for ADC-20

Hi!

I want to measure up to 20v on one channel using an ADC-20 fitted with input board. This normally allows me to measure +/- max 2.5v. Can anyone recommend resistor pair values to add to the board to function as voltage divider? A measurement of 2v would be OK. I can calculate it but if anyone can recommend from experience that would be great.

Thanks

HI Jeff,

The ADC20/24 terminal board does not give any specific values but does point out the combined resistances should be much greater than the resistance of the voltage source.
