PT-104 voltage measurement set-up

Post by dave77m »

rookie question. PT-104 can log data from PRT, resistance and voltage. in the configuration menu for each channel (in picolog) I only get options for PRT100, PRT1000, R0-500 and R0-10k. where is the voltage option?

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately, we are no longer recommending that customers use the PT-104 for Voltage measurement, and have removed references to this from our documentation and website, as a result. The reason for this is that it was originally designed as a high accuracy data acquisition device for measurement of Resistance and Temperature (which both use a reference resistor), while the same accuracy can not be conferred to the measurement of Voltage.

Regards,

Gerry

Hi Dave,

Send an email in to our help desk us at support@picotech.com marked for my attention. Can't promise anything, but depending upon when you bought it we may be able to offer an exchange or part exchange for a device better suited to your needs.

Regards,
