Swapping graph to positive

Post by hinovel »

Have connected a pressure transducer and this time the output is negative not positive, the setup is detailed in the pictures below.

Any advice would be brilliant.

Just to confirm that you have Pin 2 of the transducer connected to both AG on the board and the ground of your supply, and Pin 3 connected to Channel 1.

Which software are you using and how is it set up ?
What readings are you getting ?

Yes our setup is Pin 2 of the transducer connected to both AG on the board and the ground of your supply, and Pin 3 connected to Channel 1.
We are using Picolog 6 (v1.5) software, the results we're getting are as expected but of the opposite sign (negative voltage rather than positive!)
Thanks

I have tried a unit here directly connected to a power supply and everything appears correct. Can you save the data file and send it to support@picotech.com with a copy of the transducer data sheet.
