Hi All,
I have a DAQ project on the go, I've built the PC to sensors interface module ( still a few niggles to sort out though but pretty much there ) and am now sourcing a variety of sensors to use with it. The inputs into the DAQ interface ( ADC ) are 0-5V, and I've got my eye on some ( cheap! ) industrial pressure transducers whose outputs are 1-6V. Is there a simple way to linearly shift the 1-6V output of the sensors down to match the 0-5V inputs of the ADC? I know I could use a simple resistive voltage divider circuit but I would only get a 4.167V span and not the full 5V available from the sensor, therefore losing some of the available resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Salvatore.
