Using the DAQ-SHUNT-1 adapter
Let’s take the case of the DAQ-SHUNT-1, which is a 50Ω shunt adapter for making 4-20 mA current mea-
surements. Let’s see how to set it up within a DAQP-LV-B module. When you rst open the SETUP dialog
for this channel, by default it will be set to the VOLTAGE measurement mode, like this:
Therefore, it is necessary to change the mode from voltage to current, as shown here:
When you do this, the software changes the unit of measure from V to mA, and also presents you with the
ability to select Shunt 1, Shunt 2 (Shunt 2 applies to Shunt 3, Shunt4, and Shunt 5, which are the same elec-
trically, but which only have different I/O connector congurations), as well as a variety of Dewetron special-
ized shunts for automotive applications:
